Do you prefer British or American spelling?

I prefer the Canadian spelling, though sometimes it is a little confusing or too much, such as with the word humorous. Is the Canadian spelling humourous? I cannot help but spell the Canadian way. My fingers automatically type the way I was taught. However, as a Canadian writer, I have learned that Canadian publishers and agents would now prefer we use the American spelling when typing and submitting manuscripts. They are, in the end, going to publish them that way apparently. I must take a look at some of my recently published Canadian books to see how these words are spelled. If your book is intended to be sold to the American market as well as Canadian, then I suppose the U.S. spelling has become the norm in the publishing business. However, I am not going to go through my works in progress and change all the spellings of the words that have Canadian/American differences. I am Canadian and proud of it. And I do not want to appear uneducated either, or worse, lazy.

I also live in Canada, and I am very much used to the Canadian spelling. However, if I had to choose, I would probably say that I have a slight prefer for the British spelling, but that's just my personal preference. I'm certainly not saying that there is a better way of spelling. I don't think there is, but I do feel that I have a slight preference.

i still some words the british way. i have to say i dont care what others think about my spelling. its the way i was brought up.

English is my foreign language. So no matter it is British or American English, it is no problem for me. But perhaps I prefer to American English much more as you don't have to be so formal. Besides, it seems that American English's spelling is shorter:) I love China

I prefer British spelling most probably in my country British spelling is been thought and since i was a kind we were prone to British English language. But as i graduated from college i came across American spelling which was not quite different only a difference of few letters. I thought that American is more type of a straight forward English spelling say for example in British the word is Colour whereas in American it is color and if we look at both the words they sound the same in British the word u is silent and infact its of no use. In terms of American its quite more simpler language. So officially i prefer British Spelling, but in terms of my opinion American is more simpler

I'm Indonesian, and English is my foreign language. I like both of them English or American Spelling. And I'm still studying both of them...

I'm a Canadian who lives 7 months in Canada and 5 months in the US each year. I prefer to use US spelling because its shorter. Is there any good reason to spell neighbour with a u? Nobody has ever bothered me about my use of US Grammar. I doubt that anyone really cares.

I am a typical indian citizen.in our country british english is followed much.So i always prefer british english spelling.
