Yes, but inadvertantly. I'm sure some helpful anon will be along soon to "correct" the "misspelling" and give us yet another one of those zs (sorry, zees).
By the way, could we kinda stop using "Br" or "BrE" or "British English" to refer to variants of English that aren't American? There's a big, wonderful, English-speaking world out there that aren't American, and we aren't British, either.
And there's also Canadian English. I've written in both Canadian English and Australian English, and to tell you the truth, I don't remember all the exact differences apart from the obvious ones. I just know than Canadian English and Australian English have a lot more in common with British English than American English, and therefore I say that I prefer "British English". I'm not going to say "I prefer to use Australian English, British English, and Canadian English", when quite clearly, the style I prefer to use has a lot to do with British English than American English (although it would be cool to say that I use "ABC-English").
