Hi there Big Cam, I can give you my word that the name of the forum is 100% original English. It was 'Customization' in the past, but then I changed it into 'Customisation' to keep it in line with a wide variety of topics in that forum which use UK English titles and generally spelling.
Maybe it's just me, but I prefer this form; 'feels' more smooth to me.
Fell free to refer to it in the way you prefer, or simply use the acronym MCW

There are plenty of similar words like that, like defense/defence. Usually the differences are regional (like US/UK).
The thing with me is that I use both defense and defence

Kinda off-topic, but why do Americans spell words differently?

“I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhapy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.” —Roger Ebert

Personally as an educator, I think it is so much fun to see that even on a Lego forum site, there are discussions about English. As for that, I too have a question. Why do we in America spell color, but in Europe they spell it colour, and theatre or theater? Full of mysteries that make it fun and not just a little bit difficult to try and teach kindergarten kids how to spell and read. My favorite example for them being the word /of/ the way it is pronounced, it should be spelled /uv/, but we get some strange words. :D
How many bricks can a Eurobrick brick, if a Eurobrick could brick bricks.

I agree, he tried to create the 'next generation' English, but somehow failed in the commercial campain. Moreover, UK people are quite fond of their traditional systems (spelling, measurements and so on) and it will take more than a couple of centuries to blend the two spellings.

Sorry to argue, but it's not the same. The USA changed from the norm, not vice versa.

It's still different, I never said the European way was wrong, just different to me. If the reason it is different happens to be because America changed the language, then so be it.

Since this topic is (supposed to be) about typos in the forum names, I thought I'd point out that name of one of the forum groups (not sure what to call it) reads "Website, Frontpage and Lego General", with "LEGO" not fully capitalized.

Sorry to disappoint, but there are actually more US members than anywhere else. So it isn't that you're outnumbered by country, it's that you're outnumbered by the fact that no one else would notice and mention it because it is correct.

For some reason I have a tendency to use the European versions. They just seem more right. It just looks like a typo to some Americans that don't know about the European differences. It's not like it can be misinterpreted.

When I post it just posts a blank post?
EDIT: Wait now it works.
EDIT: OK this time it worked but some of my posts just show up as blank, this is really weird. See the Reviewers Academy for further examples.
