Technically the American spelling is more correct than the British one.
Same with Math and Maths, as Mathematics isn't plural.
And Fall being Autumn, since it helps you remember which way the clocks go, Spring Forward, Fall back.
However Americans go and fuck shit up by having just having Meter for Metre and Meter, which is dumb.

>British spelling
British is a nationality, not a language.
>be ameri*SHOT*
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element in 1990 but, three years later, recognized aluminum as an acceptable variant. The IUPAC periodic table now includes both spellings.[82] IUPAC internal publications use the two spelling with nearly equal frequency.[83]
Most countries use the ending "-ium" for "aluminium". In the United States and Canada, the ending "-um" predominates

Why do the French call it 'les mathematiques' then? This isn't like 'trousers' or 'pants' it really is historically plural.

That's not the only feature of the English language. American English has changed a lot more than British English.

You're an idiot. British spelling is absolutely a thing which is to distinguish itself from Burger spelling. Ever notice how some people spell color as colour?

Original pronunciation sounds more like a cross between a West Country accent and Scotch rather than American.
