  Cheers.

  You know that’s an interesting one. As a speaker/writer of “Queens English”, I sometimes find myself reaching for the US spelling online just not to fit in (eg color) … and I think that kinda happened here, and I honestly didn’t know curtesy wasn’t the US spelling (not that I have any hard precedent to cite).

    I guess it’s the King’s English now. I’m always careful to avoid spelling things the US way, because as a programmer there’s some things (yup, like color) that I type more often in the US version than international English and muscle memory’s a sticky bugger.

      I’ll probably say “Queen’s” until the day I die. Liz has probably earned that much.
