I just noticed that Ubuntu software centre is spelled the UK way is this only if you use the UK dictionary for spell-checking. Could one of our US users let me know.I'm just so used to American spelling in software and the internet.

Didn't you know, Canonical is a Brit company. Which I suppose makes Ubuntu a Brit OS. Just goes to show: American English may be the internet default, but Britain is still grate! ;)
