I think that the tacit acceptance of the american way of spelling words is a symptom of the waning of our own particular dialect. The accent thing is where we can see local dialects/accents being replaced by the one 'national' accent, no regional variations, no matter the reason why this may be so (to avoid a rant on social class etc),
I'd rather speak with an American accent than an English accent.
