So first of all I need to clarify as to what is the difference between American English and British English (or is there any actually?)

 

Well there is some difference between the two, in spelling and some grammar and some words. 

Examples:

1. Lorry for truck

2. Colour for color

3. I thought you fancied her - for I thought you liked her

 

But my question is, "is it appropriate to club both British English and American English?"  For example, if we write something like, "my favorite colour is Orange" (since 'favorite' is American spelling and 'colour' is British spelling), does it look odd? What do you say?

 

 

P.S. I already know the answer. But I want to give you a chance to test your knowledge. 

 

Thanks!
