I find this discussion very interesting, but I still have one lingering
questons: are not the differences between UK and US English far deeper
than spelling? Don't both cultures use very different idioms and even
differnet puncutation practices? Wouldn't these factors cause far greater
"intercultural communication problems" than spelling distinctions and are
these factors not the reason for which English websites should be
localized?
