I have a true example for you.

Several years ago, a gentleman in Australia wrote a note to a magazine in London, England.

The note was very short. It said something like: Please stop using British spellings in your magazine. Please spell all

words in the American way.

The magazine printed his note with this headline: What a Nerve!
