[quote=Anonymous]My biggest pet peeve is the shift to British spelling of words I was taught to spell the American way back in the 80s. It used to be gray, not grey. In fact, Sister Anna Marie would correct the British spelling—not accept it as an alternative spelling. Ditto for canceled. (My assistant “corrected” me for spelling it the traditional American way.) Having said that, I’m a bit of an Anglophile and I happen to applaud the Brits for their posh approach to speaking. Americans generally sound like daft dolts.[/quote]
