American spelling for all words. You know it makes sense! (And UK spelling doesn't)

UK date ordering FTW! What don't you Yanks understand about orders of magnitude?

Using mercan spelling makes as much sense as using 3 for pi. It might be 'easier' but achieves nothing of use to anyone. In twenty years time do we change all spelling again because we are ruled from China and we have to adapt our spelling to their accent?

Even worse, my Windows Phone (yes I know!) has both English and American dictionaries on it.. Damned if I know why! So texts/emails can be a mix of the two if I don't notice and correct the American spelling..
