Best post so far, and includes the British spelling of standardize !!
I have to admit, I admire the spelling of some words in the proper King's English. I have my android phone set to UK English in order to change the synthesized speech to a hot sounding British chick instead of the default voice. I've also changed the Launch Phrase from Ok Google to "Moneypenny."
Yep. I've got Bond's secretary in my phone now.
Anyhow, what I'm getting at is the android spell check now uses UK spellings when it corrects select words and offers them up when I'm texting or otherwise writing something up.
