Of course, I know people spell some words differently depending on where they are from. I'm from Canada, and we use a mix of both UK and US spelling. For example, we say favourite but then we say mom. But I hate how the Americans changed up the way of spelling traditional English . I mean, why did they have to get rid of the u in colour? What's the point? Why do they have to be so different, anyway? Do they have a problem with the British?
Again, Canada's spelling is mostly British, but I try spelling things like "mum" and even saying words in a more refined accent, because that's where it originated, and I like it more. On the other hand, the spelling changes are existent, you can't get rid of them. I respect there are some differences, and when writing my novel set in the US, I used their spelling.
Do you care about the small differences in spelling? (UK vs. US)
