Hm. I'm wondering, does the majority of English speaking countries use British spelling or US spelling? I live in Canada and I've always been taught to use the British spelling. Of course the US media does influence the expressions we use, but spelling and grammar stays purely British. Is US alone in their linguistic ways? Has anyone ever thought that it might be because US fought for their freedom from the British while other countries (or at least Canada) had their freedom granted?
