British and American Spelling

British and Americans have different spellings for many words. I come to know that britis adopted those spelling when they borrowed the words from other languages, while americans use the word as they spell it. Like ‘color’ vs ‘colour’ and ‘neighbor’ vs ‘neighbour’.

For someone like me, who grew up India where British english is followed, I have some difficulty in choosing the correct spelling. But most often, by reading articles written in America and using my software location settings, I will be able to write using the regional spellings, that is using American English.
