That's your argument. A slight difference in how a word is spelled even though both are correct. And did it cross that mind of your that there are many places in the US where some of British English still applies.
Newsflash - Written and spoken English in the USA has more dialects and variations of how words are spelled, spoken, and defined compared to everywhere else. For example in my area 'pop' has the traditional definition but it can also mean a soft drink like Pepsi. We also tend to say 'crick' instead of 'creek'.
You and the Left with your mad hardon for controlling the English language don't realize how complex and diverse it truly is. You people spout diversity at the top of your lungs yet want to control with your narrow mindset the one truly diverse thing in the US and that's is the language of the country.
Close, it's the NATURAL lifestyle. Just like the va**na is the NATURAL hole for the p**is and not the BONUS hole like the Whole Damn Freakshow claimed it to be.
