I'm constantly involved in a fight between my 'evil' and 'good' side;
I can't stand the usual US spellings as a Brit, but I always end up
admitting to myself that US spellings generally:

   make more sense;

and

   are essentially an improvement on a language that's horrible to
understand and learn properly anyway.

Though I still reserve the right to hate the inconsistent use of 'z'
(why internationalize but surmise; realize but enterprise, etc etc)!

You'll never hear this from me again, I promise.
