Reblogged from Grumpy Comments:
After I wrote a joke on my Twitter involving the word 'aeroplane', I received a response from one of my followers, politely informing me that it was in fact correctly spelled 'airplane'. Obviously I was very cordial in then informing them that 'airplane' was the Americanised spelling of the word, and they conceded that "there is an exception if you are British.", although frankly, that should certainly be the other way around!
To all you writers out there... Thought you might enjoy reading this blog on American v. British language & spelling...
