    Pretty much. Because Microsoft is American they assume "color" and "favor" and "organize" are "English"; the rest of the world would view the two flavoUrs as "English" and "U.S. English", but the Americans like to think they're the centre of the universe.

    Think Bank vs You debit and credit and you'll understand why an American company does it, but it beggars belief why an Internationally-focussed American Company does.

    That said, Facebook is the same; international but parochial in its "America looking out" mindset:
