I think I subconsciously want to be British. Over the summer I spent a few weeks out of the country (i.e. out of the US) - not very long at all! - and now whenever I think of a word like color/colour, I instinctively picture it spelled the British way. If that makes any sense.

I also have a bad(?) habit of instinctively thinking that just because something is British, it must be better than the American version of the same thing
