Interesting argument that the majority of readers are American, so that American spelling should be used. What numbers do we have on that? ComScore has something; our total readership is in the region of 150m?
These arguments seem to be predicated on the false assumption that any English speaker can write equally well in British or US spelling. It's not the case. Most Americans think "tyre" is a typo, not a British spelling.
