: Wow. What a helpful reply. Its a good job not every posting on these newsgroups complain about 
: spelling and cultural differences. 

: I wasn't aware that the internet was an American owned entity --- we have to put up with 
: "Americanisms" all the time, and you dont find the newsgroups cluttered with everyone else moaning 
: about the American culture and spelling (apart from this one!)

although it isn't, i think the use of the word 'soccer' would help avoid 
any confusion. besides, although the internet isn't american- (or 
canadian-) owned entity, most people who use it are from north america.
