It is zee, not zed.

Further more, it is connection, not connexion, civilization is spelt with a zee, not a "S" and you use double quotation marks when someone is speaking, not single quotation marks.

Actually, I think the American use of the quotation marks is a bit backwards....but that is not the issues! This is way it is done!

But the English invented English. They say it's ZED, and not only that but ALUMINIUM. And neighbour. And cheque. And it's a QUEUE, not a line. And HARMONISE not harmonize.

Also, it is absolutely NOT "All of the sudden", but rather "All of A sudden."

And it's "One fell swoop", not "One foul/fowl swoop"!!

I admit that perhaps we should be grateful that it took a "gradual" 20 years from the Gradual Civilization Act to lead to the Indian Act of 1876 and that it wasn't a hasty thing at all...:p
