I think you're being fair. I'm American but I wasn't offended by your reply or anything. Sometimes I get confused when I read other stories because I see things spelled differently than I would (if it's the u's then I know right away, but sometimes it's the difference between s's and z's) or words, like football, used differently. But usually after thinking about it (and thinking before speaking) I figure out that the author's not where I'm from.

I've had people try to guess where I'm from by my writing style. They're usually wrong and don't think I'm American. Strange because I use the American phrases and spellings and whatnot. *shrugs* Maybe talking to Jadebell and EvilDiva's rubbed off on me.
