Well as being British we invented the roots of there (their) language, now
there (they are) trying to teach it us with their colorful (colourful) ways.........
But (grammar; starting a sentence with 'But') I think your right about the terms, they wont (won't, as in will not?) change, like the American mindset, no retreat, no surrender.............
Being British myself, I find it offensive when someone from my country criticises the colonials in their use of English, when they patently cannot use it themselves. See corrections above.
What has this to do with printed circuit board making?

As for using google to prove the popularity of a word, as its hitting
about 80% of american sites and 20% of them are from the rest of the
world, no wonder the American spellings have higher hits.
