True. In American English, a list of 3 items is usually "bacon, eggs, and cheese" - not "bacon, eggs and cheese." The later implies a connection between the items, but the former doesn't.

Why this resource is not used to deal with the differences of the type "behaviour" and "behavior" or "center" and "centre"?
One reason is that the differences between American and British English are more involved than simply changing the spelling of a few words. Punctuation and grammar are also involved. If you changed behavior to behaviour in an otherwise AE sentence, the sentence would then be wrong in both languages. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_differences
