I haven't seen how yet kat but it may be possible. To be honest, I not particularly concerned about that detail. I think we are all used to reading spellings from the different versions of the English language. It gets confusing though and I have known Americans suddenly using British spelling when chatting to me and visa-versa. Maybe one day, we will stardardize it.

As a point of interest, I have just started on a course and a tutor recommended a book on grammar, The Heath Guide, an American book. He said that its contents more than compensate for the spelling diferences. I think I might invest in this one - see if improves my grammar.
