2. NEW: Added British translation. (thanks to Prod)
One of the funniest things I've seen....I thought English (US) was the derivation not the other way around! The poms must be choking on their kippers! Anyway...I've turned it on but Media Centre is still spelt wrong....but not that it worries us Aussies as we can not spell anyway!

Prod left Media Center (correctly, thanks) since it is a product name. When you write a Media Centre product, we'll keep your name.
And as far as derivations go, how about Cockney Rhyming Slang, mate? Is it English? Is it British English?

No offence intended! I've lived in the US for a couple of years so my spelling is completely confused anyway & when travelling in parts of the UK there were areas I could not understand a word they said so I'll avoid the Cockney Slang translation thanks!

I think maybe it's a little misunderstood when termed as a "translation". American English is the same language as British English, rather than a "derivative" that needs translating - though there are some minor differences in spelling. I find reading in the English I was taught as a child to be more natural so that's why I did it.
Being Australian you were most likely taught British English (spelling).

When you were travelling you couldn't understand them!?! I _am_ British, I have lived here my whole life and I still can't understand many of the accents. Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Geordie (Newcastle), Scouser (Liverpool) etc.. no chance!!! ;-)
No offence intended btw!
