British spelling is commonly taught here, example doughnut (British) to donut (American), dialogue (British) to dialog (American). Actually, there are so many distinctions between British and American accent, but it seems American Spelling is commonly used nowadays.
Anyway for most people it's not a really big deal, unless for the some who loves English literature or someone who defines himself as grammar freak.
I was taught British English, so I prefer British spelling but what's worse, people say I have American accent, of course because of movies etc. So I would call myself English mutant :D
That's cool. I think most of non native speakers pick the american way. Probably it's easier for some people, or we're just more used to listening to american english, due to movies and music overall :)

Yeah, that's right @ELF Noor. I'm trying to avoid that, but being self-taught (in my case) that's really hard to achive :(
