US English...probably.

I never really cared about the US/UK spelling of certain words. Some people get so riled up about it, but I always thought that so long as the meaning of the word was conveyed, then it's all ok. Isn't that what language is all about?

CapsLockGirl, however, seems intent on breaking down such barriers.

CapsLockGirl: "Hi, I need the wireless key. I've moved to another laptop, and I don't know it."
Me: "It's promise!6. all lower case, no spaces, the number 6...if you can't find the !, it's shift-1." (Ok, I was being a dick here :D )
CapsLockGirl: "Nono, it's not working...it's not liking it."
Me: "Please tell me exactly what you typed."
CapsLockGirl: "promize!six"

At least she's consistent!
