Funny... I do miss that English sense of humour...

Funny you should ask as its a mixture. They spell mum ... "mom" but socialise "socialise" where the americans would replace the s with a z. My service took into account I was educated in "proper English" and adjusted my test results to reflect as such.

We speak Canadian English and/or Canadian French.

Oh, and it's grammar not grammer and tried, not treied. Spelling will be an important part of the test I would think.

You're right. Although i was week in many aspects, it was my speeling and grammer that got me threw in the end.

gud,

When I was as uni, the standard was one or the other, but not an hybrid of the two. If you stick to the English way you would not be criticized.
