Dang. I love Brits. I have every since I discovered Dickens when I was young. If fact, all the British books I read left me with some severe American English spelling problems in elementary school. LOL

In the sixth grade, I used to carry a copy of the Pocket Oxford Dictionary in my lunchbox, which led to a few homework oddities. Fortunately, one of my teachers guessed the reason when she noticed the spelling style. There's a difference between misspelling the word ambidextrous and using colour, favour and aluminium throughout an essay.

Edit: Thanks for the link to the interview, K.C. The interview runs about three quarters of an hour; I'll watch it tonight.
