Separated by a common language? -- a statement

Reading my musings, it has occured to me that I am not the mark of consistancy that I had hoped. Misspellings, incorrect punctuation, subject-verb agreement, etc. I can forgive those, because this is only a blog not a dissertation on good spelling or correct punctuation. What has really miffed me is my inability to conform to a standard of spelling -- US or UK English. We all know the differences: humor vs humour, flavor vs flavour, tomato vs tomahtoe. Of course, there are others: fetal vs foetal, pedophile vs paedophile, potato vs potahtoe.

I just can't seem to choose a side. I'm torn. Do I stay with my heritage, my roots, my birthplace or do I embrace my new place in this world? It is a tough question, and one that I shall struggle with. What you should know is that I am struggling with it, so BACK THE HELL OFF!
