Until recently I used to get all anxious about Americanisms. Then I saw a classification of various English dialects somewhere and American was described as Simplified English! And it is, Webster simplified usage and spelling to help create a new American identity and to democratise the language. Now I just see American as Simplified and the rest of us are using Traditional.
They are still wrong though. 😉 ( not really, American is just different )
