Is British English or American English Used More Frequently?

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. 

That's what happened to me, I had to use American English pretty much once I moved to America, teachers got all pissy and kept telling me I was spelling words wrong and "This isn't Europe anymore, you need to write the proper way" people were very mean about the way I spoke too when I was younger, lol.

@Perpalicious I still think its incorrect...because the way a lot of words are written do not sound the way they should when spoken, but that's just my personal opinion. I honestly don't know why Americans changed anything, but I guess it made things easier for them?
