I've had it happen to me before but the other way around. For some reason I'm more used to American spelling and I used to get points taken off on my exams. Now this was unfair. Every word they marked as 'wrongly spelled' was in the dictionary but still everytime I complained about it they were like "You know the British spelling for those words, therefore you shouldn't have any problems getting back used to it". Argh, bitch.

I am not questioning him/her, I just wanna know out of curiosity.
