I think spellings and punctuation are still valid. Mostly. Ignore variations between English and Americanese.

    England and all its former colonies (except the American ones) agree on the language, and the only odd one out - the United States feels it is unique among former colonies and its parent nation as the sole owner of the most correct version of English.
