Question about language.

Or, about British v American spelling, to be more precise.

It goes like this - one day I was musing and that happened to coincide with me seeing a comment on a community post.

And that got me thinking.

And that hurt, so I stopped.

But I was still confused, or puzzled, or maybe interested, piqued, intrigued. You get the picture.

After a couple of weeks and another encounter with the question, I thought, 'I'll ask the flist. It's not a big flist, but it's knowledgeable.'

( So this is me, asking. )
