British spellings are correct. The reason why American English spellings are wrong, is because it is not the correct evolution of the English language. The language comes from England, therefore it should follow the way the English help it to evolve.

You would have to spell 'friend' as 'frend', and place the verb before the subject in a question: 'to where went thou?', instead of 'where did you go?'.
