Colourise!

It's funny the number of people (read: US Americans) who so helpfully email me to let me know I've made a spelling mistake in my story, when it is in fact proper British spelling. I think most people are quite aware of the 'u' we add to words like colour, honour, and neighbour, but it looks like replacing 'z' with 's' in realise, patronise etc is less known. As is our spelling 'jewellery' instead of 'jewelry'.

So next time you'd like to politely point out somebody's 'mistake', perhaps you ought to check their country of origin ;)
