I think he was just trolling.
Not that I feel a need to defend my copy, but I habitually adopt
British spellings of a great many words because - despite being
US-based for most of my life - I learned most of my early English from
British literature. Also, most English-related teaching materials in
Russia - at the time, if not now - were based on British English.
If you think that's the same kind of "wrong" as the kinds of errors
we've been discussing, well, uh ... fine. :-)
