Re: Re: "This is not a British site"
"this publication is primarily British"
Just a few points that may be of use: we've got 3 offices (San Fran, London and Sydney) with staff in each, as well as some useful guys out and about in New York and Hong Kong. In terms of US, UK and AU spelling styles, it depends on whose watch the article is published: the spelling is adjusted to the main audience of the moment.
So an article published after 5pm BST - when Brits clock off for a swift pint before home and the West Coast is slurping its freshly squeezed OJ - will use US spelling because the SF office is running the show. That team hands over the guys Down Under at the end of their working day, and they hand over to the UK team when their working day ends.
The alternative is to force everyone into either UK, US or AU mode, which will alienate far more people than the current system, which tries to please most of the people most of the time rather than some of the people all of the time.
And breathe.
