I don't think any US or Canadian reader would be put off by UK spelling - unless they dislike the whole idea of British-ness. I had an unflattering review on Barnes and Noble where the reviewer finished off by complaining that he 'definitely felt the British influence' in the novel. Well, I guess he would, as it was written by a Brit.
On the plus side several of my US readers said they like what they call my 'quirky' Britishness and sense of humo(u)r.
Here are some words I've learned to be careful with. Any others anyone?
US <> UK
Fanny = Bum
Vagina = Fanny
Gas = Petrol
Propane = Gas
Fag = Gay
Cigarette = Fag
Ass = Arse
Donkey = Ass
