You really seem to
have got the poor old Pom's backs up there. I'm Australian and don't care if you don't put a second "i" in "aluminium" or a "u" in "colour".

But I don't care to have computers telling me not to do it. I also prefer "kilometre" to "kilometer" as that is the spelling in the SI system of units. I deliberately write "-ise" and not "-ize" too.

One thing I have spotted recently is "I could care less." That means they do care, when their apparent meaning is that they don't. Where does this come from?
