It's obvious that OpenOffice has forked Her Majesty's English. I
foresee only tender footed pilgrims picking up such an unsupported
language and using it in production.<br>
<br>
It's fine to have different dialects and regional spelling differences,
but I don't see why anyone would knock the original English-English.
While "specialising" might not be correct American-English spelling,
that doesn't mean it's not correctly spelled. The differences of
derivative dialects and sloppy grammar and punctuation is pretty
straight forward though.<br>
<br>
I don't think anyone would usually even really care much about it,
until it starts confusing those who are trying interpret variations in
English.<br>

If you dump Alex's home page into OpenOffice, it complains of the
"English" spellings of specialising, Customisable, endeavours, and that
interoperable, telco, softswitches, intercarrier are not "words."
Maybe that was what he was referring to?
