I'm ticked off because of I'm somewhat of a patriot. Kurezi, reading properly can get you very far. I said I'm annoyed by American spelling being used in my school. I'm sure you'd feel the same way if your culture was brutally raped and spat on.

This only annoys me when using written English, most teachers in my school seem to like to use American English and I lost a lot of marks in my essay due to the fact that I use an s instead of z.

I'm well aware that British and American English are pretty much the same when spoken if you ignore the accents. Neither one is superior than the other. Since the original poster requested British English I don't think it's right to question him/her as to why he/she wants to learn British English. I'm sure you wouldn't question why someone prefers Coke over Pepsi.
