Now if it would only quit correcting my grammar with ungrammatical 'corrections'! Google doesn’t correct my spelling anymore, simply offering an option to search under the alternative spelling.

Also the American spelling is just wrong, its very infuriating when you install something like itunes and it asks you what language and the only option is American (English), errr no! We should not be the bracketed party here!

Even when type this on my browser, it is suggesting Americanized in place of Americanised :) Thats funny... Google should not forced Americanised version.

It has two A's for crying out loud! Their version is correct in the US and mine is correct here, I wish they'd just leave it at that and accept both versions.

We are losing our identity enough as it is without the spelling (that we have used for generations) being adapted to what becomes more convenient for globalisation.

What would be wrong with that? On the general English language spelling debate - I'm in favour of any trend that simplifies spelling so that our kids don't have to waste so many of their precious educational years worrying about something so completely insignificant! There are lots of stupid and random historic reasons why we spell words the way we do and it only serves to burden an otherwise flexible and adaptable world language.

Because while searching many people don't know the correct spelling so they write whatever they wanna write because they know google will show them if they are wrong.
