You know, Color instead of Colour, things like that. You make it simpler so you can spell it :P

There are so many Americanisms used, I particularly dislike the hideous word "gotten"
The Australian soap "Neighbours" just wouldn't be the same if it was called "Neighbors"...

Jess, I totally agree with you.
I use the "correct" spelings and the "Americanised" spelling interchangeably, because, when in America, do as the Americans do!"The Director also sets the record straight on what would happen if oxygen masks were to drop from the ceiling: The passengers freak out with abandon, instead of continuing to chat amiably, as though lunch were being served, like they do on those in-flight safety videos."

I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Indian airlines, you've summed it up perfectly! I've tried switching to the international standards countless times. Once, on an essay, I spelled color as colour about 9-10 times. The teacher took off two points per 'spelling mistake', which brought me down to an 80. I have also tried writing dates the proper way too...as in 7.11.2003 would November 7 2003 instead of July 11 2003. However, I found the teachers wondering why I wrote July 11th on all my papers, so I just stopped doing that. My math teacher really thought I couldn't put dates properly on my paper...
