American English vs. British English

Is it FIBER optic cable OR FIBRE optic cable connecting my computers?

I usually tend to spell British (or Canadian) English. Sometimes on the transit site I'll get "corrected."

Try and speak like that, I do :P

[NetAddition]

I try to use British on UK forums and do my best to alter things and type USA style on American forums.

Just now and then I drop a bit of broad Yorkshire in to the mix, just to get people thinking “what the heck”.



BTW I was once talking about ice lollies (lollipops) on a US board and no one had a clue what I was saying.

ice lolly = popsicle not lollipop, a lollypop (see i don't even know the spelling) is a chuppa chup world wide to the best of my knowledge.
