Well I hope you didn't teach him to spell disk with a c :)

If only there was a country out there that preferred the c over the k. There may even be hints in the gp post of where that may be!

Hello from the UK!

Fingers crossed American English won't have completely taken over the world by the time he's learning to spell!

Actually, being a non-American Anglophone country where American English is a vehicle for lots of technology has had some interesting consequences. For example, we have the word "programme" for "schedule", but "program" for "computer instructions". I think there are other examples.
