Slightly ot.

Hi Father Bronze just because you made a reference to spelling.

I always find it kinda funny that the English language abroad is often taught with American spellings, which in some ways (no offense intended) make it a bastardized English. ie Grey and gray or colour and color or even in your post licence and license. I wonder how these changes came to be made in the first place. Just a natural progression (as are all languages) or did the first American English teachers just teach some words wrong in the first place and the mis-spellings stuck. Accepted, I don't think too many people would sign up for "bastardized English" classes anyway. I just wondered what your take on this was.
