I recently had the spelling modified on an answer I posted. My original answer contained the words "math" and "defense". These were changed to "maths" and "defence". I realize that both are correct, however if I wanted to spell words in the British style, I would do so myself. I edited the two words back to my original and a short time later they were changed again. While on the one hand I can consider this "not a big deal", it is a little frustrating, especially when the spelling and grammar in other postings is often so bad I can't even understand what the question is. Also, the question I was responding to had the word "math" in it and that wasn't changed. Thanks for whatever you can do to address this. P.S. I don't think I've noticed this before. Is it something new?

Thanks for using blurtit and sorry about the modification. Since we have got complaints about the misspelling on blurtit, the moderators are told to correct the spelling from now on. In your case, the word 'math' and "defense" are correct spelling. I apologize for the changing and have told moderator not to take American spelling as a mistake. Sorry for the confusing. Hope you enjoy blurting and have a nice day.
