Re: non-americans writing a story set in america

Just get yourself an American beta to catch the small details in vocabulary and spelling. I have no problem with it in theory, but it is a bit jarring to see something like an American character talking about her "favourite colour."

Dude, spelling shouldn't matter at all unless said character was specifically telling another character how to spell something. THEN "favorite/favourite" can be called out. Otherwise? When speaking to another character, said characters wouldn't know whether "favorite" or "favourite" was the right spelling.

What would get me would be, say, if the writer tried to set a story somewhere in the American South and they got landmarks wrong or used slang wrong or something. THAT would get to me.
