Oh... another thing about spelling, as I mentioned before Brits use u's in colour, flavour etc..., but theres also a difference when they spell organise and analyse. We British use an "s" whereas Americans use a "z" so that its spelt organize and analyze.
Also Americans say "Math", but Britsih say "Maths"

*twitch* Maths...How I loathe it. I'm doing coursework and I had to get NINE articles, three similiar ones from each of three papers and count ALL. THE. WORDS. In my chosen article.
...Guuuuh.
And, yeah, there's the whole 'organise' 'organize' thing...I think the 'z' looks funny, but American's probably think the 's' looks funny O.O
