...because my feelings on the subject are, well, mixed.
As an Aussie, I've learned to switch from US to UK spelling and back again with considerably less mental effort than changing gears when driving (I have to, our spelling isn't quite the same as either). I admit that when I first joined Blakes 7 fandom I was a total pedant - Its A British Universe and Everything In It is Too Including Spellcheck So There - and in fact I still do wince at American spelling where Avon et al are concerned.
For other shows, including TS, the part of me that should never be left alone with a dictionary likes it when it's 'right'. But it's really only a mild thing (let's face it, were I to stay pedantic I'd be in a hell of a mess with historical fanfic... "thou needs must do it even if we your noble and revered audience canst not understand but one word!!!") and entirely illogical; of you ask for reasons I could only mumble "it's pretty" and half the time I forget to do it myself {blush).
Warning - Abadon Logic All Ye Who Enter Here...
