My constant spelling conundrum: do I put "modelling" because I am English or "modeling" because the document is written in American?

    As regards "modelling" vs. "modeling", I'm definitely in favour of positive discrimination in this case. There are some many more Americans that us Brits should go with the "proper" spelling whenever we think we can get away with it, regardless of whether it's strictly right in a given context.

    My only reservation about this is whether this constitutes the American approach to the question. Maybe the English approach would be to always use the American spelling when there's any doubt, just in case we inadvertently offend someone?

    Hold strong on modelling, I reckon. Likewise colour, centre and anything ending in -ise.

    Thanks for posting the strategy, too. It particularly answers one question that's been bugging me for quite a while.
