Same as dictionaries (US), default locales (US) and computer programming 
language spelling (US). Argghhh.

I have suggested to a friend that we just acquiesce and adopt US and 
British spelling together into the one English dictionary and be done 
with it. Most US spelling is prevalent enough now on the Net across the 
world to count as common usage anyway :(

And from there we can just continue to give up our own culture more 
freely! Feels like MS tactics... I wonder if the Middle East feels like 
Sun.
