I was just thinking - in CSS, there is a text-transform property 'capitalize'. I know that the Queen's English would spell this 'capitalise'.
Does this American English pose a problem for any of you programmers in the UK or Canada? Or, does it just bug the sh!Z out of you?

Oh, it starts way before that, you bastard yanks.
12 years of referencing 'color' in HTML? Pfft.

so i'm used to spelling 'colour', i web i have to use 'color'. it really pushes the boundary of human intelligence that kind of bait-and-switch.

It's when you catch yourself writing 'color' in day to day English that the forehead veins start popping.

If I have one irritation (I don't, I have many), it's when Amero-centric web sites offer a language selection and put 'English' with an American flag. Now, if you've British/International English and American English options available, and decide to differentiate - fair enough. But not having the Union Jack or St. George when referencing plain 'English' is just wrong.
