I spell it like this

If I'm talking to a British person, I'll generally switch over to their spellings. Otherwise, I use the American spellings.

I spell things mostly the traditional way. Colour, favourite, realise, organise, mum etc. To me, some American spellings just look weird (eg. spelling defence as defense and grey as gray).

I'd like to point out:

Metre is a unit of measurement while meter is a device used for measuring something, for example, "I ran a couple of metres so I could see what the reading was on the electricity meter".

Same goes for centre and center. Centre is a gathering place (for example, a Pokémon Centre) while center is the middle of something. "I went to stand in the center of the Pokémon Centre."

I think most people don't really care about the difference, but I'm just throwing it out there.

ohh thanks.

I mainly use the American way to spell, because thats what I grew up with, but I may also mix some of the british in there well because I can, and I get confused but eh.
I also like to say Mum sometimes :3
 
I use the American spelling of everything, because thats how I was taught.
 
I use the British spelling, because that's where I'm from and what I'm used to. Apart from games that say they're localised to European and still use the American spelling of words. D; Oh, and I also say "Mam" rather than "Mum" or "Mom" but that's a North-Eastern thing, I think.
 
I'm from England, so... colour, mum, defence etc. :)
I like the British spelling of words, so I'm happy. XD
This thread reminds me of a TV show where this guy had a habit of fixing everyone's typos, so he'd fix grafitti etc. :P
 

color and colour
center and centre
realize and realise.

I always spell it the American way, if thats even right O.o
 
Americans ruined spellings.
XD
I like to spell them as colour, favourite, honour, etc. I hate that it has already been underlined in red. >_> That is not a spelling error! XD
