Yes, of course.

The only thing I would say in addition is that there are serious
questions underlying this.  Given that English is a global language,
spoken and written in several subtle shades worldwise, and given _as
well_ that forking into "English English" and "American English" is a
proposal so preposterous as to not be worthy of consideration, we do
need to be careful to be thoughtful about the real issues.
