It is true that I spent a couple of my formative and impressionable years in London. And I honestly can't always tell whether some of my spellings and expressions are American or British. But, as has been pointed out, it is legal to spell it either way on "this side of the pond."

One of the more colourful gents I met there told me that he originally thought Americans were pilgrims who spoke b@stard English. Later he realized that he had it backwards.

We are, indeed, "two nations separated by a common language."
