AmericaniSed spelling
Sorry but we gave you the language, we tell you how to spell it!!!
Color is wrong. It is COLOUR.
Recognize et al is wrong. Recognise is correct.
Mom is wrong. ITS MUM DAMMIT!
Freedom is wrong. The proper term is FRENCH (accept it).

Thank God, I was afraid, that the new name of the United States would be Nighted States of America. But AFAIK the acronym NSA is already occupied.

No Such Agency. Therefore the acronym NSA is not taken. That is insignificant though, BSA fits much better.
