Yes, and that's the point! Austin is British! Not American! Why would they use the American spelling?

On the same theme : Austin refers to travelling in "an elevator". Not if he is British, he doesn't; we call them "lifts". He also refers to his car as a "Shaguar", a pun on the name of the car manufacturer Jaguar. The trouble is, he pronounces it 'Shag-WARR', based on the American pronunciation 'Jag-Warr'. If he was British he would pronounce it "Shag-U-Arr", because we say 'Jag-U-Arr'. Three syllables, not two.

Austin is not saying the word defense so it really makes no difference whether or not you use the British spelling or the American spelling.

Chi-Chi, the word defense with an s is printed on the MOD (ministry of defence, for anyone who doesnt know) building, which is /not/ believe it or not in America, its in London, and so /should/ have an English spelling instead of American.
