@TobyC is from US of America.
One of their presidents, I forget which, introduced "Simplified English", or should that be Inglish? Hence blow up your tires, and write a check.
Webster the dictionary man hated the English; he tried to alter the spellings of many words, hoping to invent an American language, and encouraged by the simplified English idea. An educated fool. Dictionaries follow and record language. Webster thought he could lead language.

That’s interesting to see. I know most of the obvious spelling differences like say ‘Color’ but I’ve never come across that one.
Every day is a learning journey…

My grandmother used to say ‘I hate yankee doodle bloody English’ American don’t understand simple English from UK, Canada and Australian English.
Yes, but @TobyC seems to do well. Probably by mixing with us.

The English language was just a hodge-podge of old English and French words with some spelling irregularities, it was perfected by the Americans.

Oscar Wilde said we are two nations separated by a common language. We walk on the pavement - you drive on it.

I use an old metal screw top tin. From memory it was originally from James, AKA the OSP soap man. Basically similar to the kind of tin airgun pellets, or for that matter shoe polish, might come in. I've had the same tin for about 5 years and it's not full yet (I do alternate between SE, DE and straights). When it's full I'll take it to the municipal tip and put it in with metals.
