What's wrong with British spelling? It's also the English spelling using in India, Australia, New Zealand etc. By pure numbers, more people may spell it defence than defense. Americocentrism is quite annoying from the other side :)
I'm not saying anything's wrong with it. The "unfortunately named" bit is from the article, and I'm just pointing out that the author's snark is ill-placed.
Nothing? They were pointing out that the "unfortunately spelled" file is merely using the British way of spelling.
I'm wondering how they were misunderstood, given they even used quotations to show they were quoting the article which is the one that made the claim that it was "unfortunately spelled".
