Yes, but... there are Canadian spellings and usages that aren't in either US or UK. And that doesn't even get into the accents. There are sections of the Ottawa Valley, out in what used to be farm country like North Gower and Osgoode, where the County Antrim accent has not changed much in nearly two centuries.
Amen. (I pick UK because you can take my "ou"s when you pry the keyboard out of my cold dead hands, but there are a lot of other Canuckistanian spellings where I don't mind correcting them to whatever the stupid machine tells me.)
The other day I saw someone spell the word I would spell as "glorious" as "glourious," and when I objected somoene else proposed that it was a UK spelling. That seems so *very* unlikely to me -- after all, it's colour and honour, not coulour and hounour -- but I am *not* a native English-english speller, so... ??
Typo, as I thought? Or correct-in-some-version-of-English?
