Actually, "z"s and "s"s can be used interchangeably in both British and American English. The only time you can't use a "z" in British English is in words like "analyse". If you spelt it "analyze" over here, you'd be wrong.

Is that so? I guess it makes sense that they can be used interchangeably, we all used 'z' at one point, then we were the ones that decided to change those words back to an 'S' spelling, from a 'z' spelling, and then Americans and American English didn't.
..oh and that's nice OANST. I appreciate your concern, or something? You know what I find pretentious about Americans? The 'percentage game'. I find it ridiculously pretentious how proud you all are about what percentage of a culture you are.
I'm so sorry I came across as this 'pretentious backwards Brit', with my initial
lighthearted nitpicking; I'm actually very fond of America, I'm so very sorry you've based your opinions otherwise.
