Yes, I notice whether someone is using British or American spelling. It is a way to gauge a person's "accent." Though you sometimes have people like Gillian, using American punctuation and British spelling. Heh. I don't have a clue about the ice cream, though.

I like the way those words look with the "u" in them, okay?
I haven't tried either. For one, I don't like peaches. For another, I just got my benefits for the month cleared by my social worker today, and my money won't clear until maybe Friday. But at least I can buy food tomorrow, and I'll try the Colbert.

I see they mispelled Nelsone and creme, or is it creame?

It's Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream.
I have two problems with all this. 1. While I also like the look of the "u" in flavour, I don't think a British spelling should be used in a sentence referencing an American topic. 2. How could Willie go with a Yankee creamery instead of that Li'l Ol' Creamery in Brenham? This is akin to heresy.
