     I used to practise that, but many years ago I thought it foolish to do so 
and I resorted to OED English.

     I once had an eBay seller tell me that he had to charge me extra for 
shipping.  Because I used the spelling "colour" he immediately thought that I 
lived in Canada despite the Arizona mailing address.
