[stylist] question about terminology

[Semirhage]

Hi, Vegas,
I'd say in your writing it may be alright in fiction, especially if you're 
writing in a British setting, but in general editors would likely correct it 
as it is British and fine  for  British publications, but we in America do 
spell Favorite without the  U and so on, so editors, and probably professors 
likewise would appreciate standard suitable spellings.


It's annoying to conform, but often those in charge force it at least when 
under their influence. But if you're self publishing or writing letters, 
blogs, ETC, I definitely encourage you to use your own voice.

I don't know why Americans insist on their  different spellings and their 
different measuring system, but  we're so yeah. LOL.

I hope that helps.
