I can't win - when I email my friends down under or in England (and Ireland for that matter) they always point out my spelling errors. It seems every time I write the term labor or defense in an email overseas, I spell like that but when I post to this board I spell them labour or defence or colour. My subconscious is tortuing me. Both Spanish and French have centralized language centers that determines the rules, is it too much to ask that such a thing exist for English?

Sweet pea, if you are writing from here, American spelling is not incorrect, and you should tell them to fuck off. If you are writing for publication in another country, you should adhere to that country's spelling conventions, but shit, the editor can do the changes in that case.
