See, I'm British - but because I've been reading fanfics since I was 12 for the past 20 years and started out as a weeb in fandoms like Naruto and Yu-Gi-Oh!; I'm kind of use to the Americanized side of fics (like anything non-American with the exception of UK based media, but written into English for fics) - so much so that I've avoided British based media like Harry Potter and Sherlock when it comes to fanfics, and just write with American spelling/grammar when writing fics.

Of course I do read UK based books and write with regular UK spelling in irl - but when it comes to fandoms/fanfics I just switch over.
Yes I am aware how stupid this sounds.

That doesn't sound stupid.

I'm American but use British English when I write in UK fandoms. If I make an error and use an accidental Americanism I'm gracious about fixing it, since I'm not perfect at it or native, but I think it makes sense to do.

I grew up reading a lot of UK authors and so went to school spelling it 'colour' and such, and got dinged for it. Made me mad.

I cannot stand writing the word "color" (I had to type it three times here rip) and I always use "colour" and such but I also call my mother "mum" sometimes which is apparently not done either??

Who knows!
My whole family grew up watching BBC stuff on public broadcasting, reading UK authors.... We call our mom 'Mum' quite often.

Fuckit - I'll do what I want! :D

I'm the opposite. I'm Canadian, but I long ago went, "Fukcing FINE, okay, have it your way!" about spelling things the American way, because the majority of the websites and even writing programs I used would give me the red squiggles for spelling things the Brit/Canadian way. Now I have to actively remind myself to switch back for things where it actually matters.

I told my stupid spellchecker to 'add to dictionary', heh. But I'm mostly in the American habit, now, anyway.
