I have quickly learned that we do not speak or write the ‘Queen’s English.’ Here are some words that I found in the newspaper today that Americans spell ‘incorrectly.’ (MS Word actually changes most of them to the ‘correct’ spelling and I had to edit them.) I would like to know how the Queen really does spell these words. In South Africa they don't use the letter z very often if at all. And, they don't call it z, they call it 'zed.'
