Why do so many Canadians seem to struggle to spell basic words?

American text books? American Spell check by default.

I am almost blind to the red squiggles now because of spell checkers set to US English. What's really annoying is autocorrect changing colour to color and such.

If we're standing on making English spelling more logical we're in for a lot of changes. And then we are only one vowel shift away from spellings not making sense anymore.
