Hi,

I am American.
Personally, I embrace, and often utilise the option to use English spelling variations of words so as to flavour my writing. If I were to be ticketed by the spelling police, I would have to point out their lack of depth in reading comprehension, that being their inability to recognise my deliberate use of these spelling variations. I repectfully request your disclaimer be revised to respect the artisitc licence of writers such as myself.
