No worries. The spelling actually isn't such an issue for me, its where the phrases are different. The best/worst example I've ever come across is "skivvies", which seems to be a term for underwear in US English, whereas in UK English a skivvy is a maid of all work.

Most of the comms seem happy enough to advise a writer who thinks something might be said or referred to differently in UK and US English.
