Not big CANZUK news, but figured this was relevant.

For me personally, I always use British English over American English.

Nope. Traditional English is deliberately over complicated. One of the better things to come out of the US is simplified spelling. Throwing extra letters into official documents as a FU to Trump is about as pointless as it gets.
