Yes, been there, and it irks a bit....thaough like Widdershins, I can understand that we need to settle on *something.* But how come when I read books by US authors released (usually much later) in the UK, the spelling is....American?? ;-))) <br /><br />Jane xJane Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633011977001159724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399181899967961204.post-80089573953431178252010-10-28T17:24:47.470+11:002010-10-28T17:24:47.470+11:00It really feels wrong to allow some of their spell...It really feels wrong to allow some of their spelling through. What drives them? I like that.. Americaneze. A new and particular language.<br /><br />Do we have to change the "_" inverted commas too? I guess I will find out soon enough.<br />That could be fun.

Our lovely loyal Aussie readers must learn Americaneze?Rosalie Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530160674372850136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399181899967961204.post-48021183391942722102010-10-28T17:02:11.361+11:002010-10-28T17:02:11.361+11:00Ah-h ... the joys of translating our erudite Aussi...Ah-h ... the joys of translating our erudite Aussie lingo into some North American babble!... I've struggled with the question of WHY should I have to change what is in fact proper English to a goodly portion of the planet just to placate those yankee publishers who are owned by off-shore conglomerates anyway!....<br /><br />.... and although I jest in the above paragraph (mostly) I do understand why, so I and my spell-check are working through 60,000 plus words to make sure they are grammatically....
