Nigello Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I just looked at two threads within a minute of each other and saw two US spellings - "enrollment" and "neighbor" and just wondered whether this is because US English is given as a default on all/most/some devices.

Alan Medic Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Don't most US spellings of English words sort of make more sense than the English version eg center, centre, aeroplane, airplane Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/98487-are-some-posters-using-us-english-as-a-default/#findComment-975683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
