I asked an american lady about the language. I always thought it originated back in the wild west days and before, when people who could write, spelt things phonetically. But she said some guy called Webster was asked to standardise American. The spellings come from him. Either way, wrong!! Now I'll leave the 'center/centre' stage and go to the 'theater/theatre' .....
