What do you guys prefer?

The SE sites I've been involved in tend to the American spelling of words for consistency and so make some of the British spellings synonyms of the American ones.

Not only will this prevent every potential -tagging user from having to tap the 'u' key, saving multiple seconds over the next decade, StackExchange will end up transmitting one fewer character every time it displays the word, saving quintillionths of dollars in hosting, processing and transmission fees.
