The problem with Americans is.....they speak and write American!
They are always going to spell common English words incorrectly because they have Americanised (there you go once just popped up there) English. They have seen fit to put a Z in a word in place of an S, which, since the time Robert Cawdrey complied the first English dictionary in 1604 is correct! And dropping the U from words such as humour, neighbourhood, colour, harbour has become another part of American folklore!
But Rachel, we humour them and we allow them their language idiosyncrasies. We let them pronounce Lieutenant as lootenant instead of the correct way as Leftenant. We let them write centre as center, and metre as meter......You know as well as I Rachel, there are dozens upon dozens of examples of the way they have bastardised (oops bastardized) the English language.
It is a natural extension of that bastardisation that the spell-checker will correct your text to American.....even though it claims it is correcting it to 'English'!
But Rachel, it is up to you and I to keep the English language in tact.....so lets just humour (oops humor) it and just be thankful that it may help us where it counts!
You are right about the sanitiser though....it does remove all our nasty words **bleep**, whatever there might be nasty about that, although funnily enough it does let bitch through!
Sort of looses a bit of colour though, don't you think?
Cheers......Rob
