You say color, we say colour. There are tons of other words were America as decided to go and spell things their own way. Of course every other English speaking nation in the world is wrong that is why they changed it. That is an example of a distinction in the same language. I can't even begin to imagine what a difference between two different languages using a different alphabet or script would be as Melusine points out.
As for city spelling I always had a problem spelling. Fredericton (Provincial Capital of New Brunswick ) I always left out the silent 'e'. Guess that means I was a dumb kid growing up.

you would be correct in this assessment except for one minor detail... even the iraqi websites use the spelling fallujah, not her faulty spelling. when NOBODY else on the web spells the word quite so incorrectly as this woman, including her own countrymen, then i HAVE to assume that she is NOT from the country. especially when she has otherwise perfect spelling, except for iraqi ethnic words. i'll take a little more time to search through the blogs and see if i cant gather a bit more proof.
Please note, however, im not saying youre ideal is wrong... but you might want to place a little less faith in an anonymous web blogger who claims to repeatedly violate iraqi tradition and mispells common iraqi place names. did you know that a recent poll showed that more than a third of people representing themselves as women on the internet were actually male? yeah, thats why i dont trust an anonymous blogger...
