I don't understand that at all. I guess so many Americans are sheltered enough in their little American world, but I've known that there is a difference in American and British/Canadian spelling since I was young. When I was about 11 years old, I decided that I like the British spelling better and began using it. My teacher sent a note home to my parents saying that I needed to "spell like an American", heh.
