It would be funnier if the Globe didn't use American spelling too (except for its odd use of 'cigaret').

I should check that article against my copy of the G&M Style Book, shouldn't I?

It would be annoying (but only personally) if they've changed it since i was reading it regularly. Most papers use US spelling, because it's shorter (no extra U's lying around).
