*Clutches forehead* TELL me about it - not! At least America sort of rationalised some of the English spelling! I hover between thinking it a good thing and loyally sticking with traditional English spelling! I PREFER the spelling COLOR, for example, but continue to use COLOUR. I'm just a crazy mixed up old lady, lol!
