Do you use "favour" or "favor"? "Color" or "Colour"? "Yoghurt" or "Yogurt"? I got thie idea from another forum. I use British spelling usually.
You?

Aussie. I generally use ~MOSTLY~ British, but I don't mind swapping between them if I have to do so (such as HTML & BB Code which use "Color" as defined by the W3C which is nearly all-American anyway).

I use both, since my ancestry is British and Scottish as well as a little german thrown in.

Mostly American, unless I'm being weird.
Like how I spell it 'Photoshoppe'. Or how I use 'bloody' as an all purpose adjective.

It depends on the word. On some words, I use the American spelling like color and odor. But I use British spelling on words like grey on theatre.

Parley Vous France? <"Speak You French?"> Most 'ou' words such as "Colour" & "Flavour" in English-English come from French, the 'u' got dropped thanks to smegging Webster when he was writing an American English Dictionary (the same guy who gave you "Sox" instead of "Socks" and dropped other letters such as "me" from "Programme").
Another good example of British Vs. American: Paedophile (Pædophile using the æ character from Latin, as in æon which gave us aeon then eon) Vs. Pedophile.
