Isn't there a setting somewhere you can change so it doesn't do that? I think a lot of programs have options for more than just American English.
Speaking of that, the frigging lamest thing I have ever heard was that for some books written by British authors, they actually release American editions for the US market with Americanized spelling and words. I know we sometimes look like it, but we're really not a nation of retarded people. Most of us do know what someone means when they say "torch" instead of "flashlight" and still know what "colour" means even with the U in it.
