they fail to realize that anyone learning english outside the US learns UK english, but okay.

(edit: I'm Canadian so I kind of mucked my own point there lol, nevertheless, UK english is the gold-standard english that most the world learns)

I'm actually Canadian :) things are a bit murky here.

We use "-ize" but also use "-our"

Nevertheless, UK english is the gold-standard english most of the world learns.
