I believe that the real reason things are spelled differently is because we as Americans have formed a new language. We do not speak English we speak American. Most of our words have come from similar words in other countries. We have a lot of german words in our language that we thing of as English not to mention all the words we have that are derived from Greek, French, Latin, spanish, and who knows where else. I for one have always spelled certain words a little odd in most American's eyes but I like to believe there is just altenatives to spelling. I always spell things such as colour flavour favour. I use the word save to mean except I also like using the word ergo sometimes. I no longer think there is just one proper way to spell or say things but then again I could be totally wrong. I think most people get the jist of what you are talking about no matter how you spell them and in most cases how you say them.
