Mike Harding used to have a story in which he almost made a woman in an American pastry shop choke to death, when he went back in and asked for another Danish because he'd just lost his cherry in the street.

But really, although I'll fight tooth and nail for the proper use of apostrophes and the like, I can't see any problem with the 'Mercans spelling things differently than we do over here in Yurp. Language changes, and mostly they're just making the spelling more logical.

Though I did use to wonder about a Jim Stafford song in which he talked about "tying a rubber band around my fanny"...
