I'm sure this has been mentioned, but the fact that defense is spelt wrong annoys me...any word on this ever getting fixed?

Why, British English is technically the more correct form of English, we invented the English Language.

I'm a Canadian so we spell things the English way, like defence instead of defense and colour instead of color. IMO the English language is a rich tapestry, whereas the American version is appropriately dumbed down.

I say stick with Defence as is.
