Perhaps its one of the endearing differences that seperate the commonweatlth countries from the independate state of the united states? For example; favourite vs favorite, colour vs color. Pronunciation of can't as kant vs carnt. etc


I guess english is evolving, and in time maybe even Australian might be a different language?
