Why wouldn't the fungus be spelt mould in British English? I'm just wondering if there's a reason beyond the natural surprise of finding variations, not trying to be argumentative.

I've just been interrupred while writing this to be told that America and Britain number calendar weeks differently (Britain follows ISO[1]) and that Apple's calendar is fixed to the US version. It never ends…!
