    eerem Im english and I spell it either way in fact somntimes I just leave out the second o altogether but the inconsistancey in the spelling does lend to the in an american school idea, I was in one and the grammer book was english, the comprehension was american and I think the handwriting books were Australian.... so generally people were left confused

    Is you from Tex-as, hombre?
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    True, Cuppa.

(I don't think he intended that one. But I may be wrong.) And I've also encountered "realise" and "colour" in his posts, can't remember where.

    He's just a sly and a sneak. Haaay, Robin...

    I previously thought of him as a European. Maybe an American now.

    Really? We spell "realize" with a "Z".

    I didn't know that.

    well actually I tell a lie the american spellings tend to be more phonetically correct and easier to spell so are adopted by alot of not ex-british colony countries as well as quite a few of them.
