Dana/Mattias:

I believe a statement about the US and England goes something like this.
"Two countries divided by a common language."

Pick up a book printed in the US in 1906 and one will see the drift in both 
spelling and punctuation.  As you point, out the British spelling is very 
different from American spelling in what is basically the same language.  
English as well as most other languages constantly drift as new technology 
and usage patterns emerge.  Right now, in the US, the assimilation of 
Spanish words is occurring at a fairly rapid pace.  Dana
