I grew up using British spelling too so when I say the title "In Defense" I knew what the OP was talking about but it looked really weird.

Another example that I find very strange too: Americans do not distinguish between practice and practise. In British English, "practice" is a noun and "practise" is a verb.

Anyway...I stick to what comes "naturally" to me...
