I can't sympathize with the argument over UK vs. US English when there are so many really gross errors in the eBooks I've downloaded lately. Maybe I should stay away from Smashwords and Feedbooks. But even supposedly main-market eBooks are full of errors, most of them the author's. What are the editors doing for their pay? Sample: A myriad of: myriad is an adjective, not a noun. Almost no-one (even writers in England) gets it right, or how about try and instead of try to. The list goes on and on.
Doesn't anyone keep a Strunk and White at his or her elbow when composing? I see absolute ignorance of how to form plurals and even books dictated into Dragon Speak with howlingly funny homonyms -- try a book by E. R. Mason -- sorry, E. R., but there it is. I couldn't finish the last one even though the plot was sustainable.
I might start transcribing them to post them here.
I don't mind UK English at all. I even had to write a paper in it for acceptance by an English journal.
As far as I'm concerned, write in UK or US, it doesn't matter, but whatever you choose, get it right!
