“A college professor accused her of putting on airs in her writing. She had to explain that was how she was taught to spell”
I work with a guy who was raised on a former British Island in the Caribbean. I’ve had to proof his reports in the past to remove the brit spelling and word use.
I feel your pain. My husband and I started a cargo airline and I had to edit the operating manuals that were originally British. Seeing “whilst” makes me want to scream and throw things.
