I'm pretty sure British English is used more frequently than American English, simple because...American English is used only in well...America. I was forced to write in American English though, because my teachers would take off points for "misspelling" words...? And so I had to adopt the incorrect American way of writing/typing words. It still annoys me to this day, that I can't spell words the way they're suppose to be spelled.

Do people in College/Uni care which way you spell words?


It is unfair to be penalised for that, for example what if you recently moved to America (as a British English user) and were forced to use American English. I would not mind using both but to be forced to use one is unfair. If it involved English then all forms of English come under the equation.
