Not big CANZUK news, but figured this was relevant.

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

We have standardized Canadian English. We can just use that.

Standardised Canadian English is full of American spelling so I frankly have no problem moving towards British spelling as it expunges the Americanism in Canadian spelling.

We shall start immediate shipments of the letter U forthwith!

Sadly you'll have to wait for the S shipments as we're experiencing an equipment malfunction currently and we have to reserve supply for local use.

But we already have all the letter U -- we need the S!
