Question for ALL Designers!!

How difficult would it be for you to include Canadian / UK / Australian spellings of words when you have word art, journal cards, etc. in your kits?

Right now, because Fall is approaching, I'm finding a lot of kits with "color" word art. Well, I can't use it! We spell it "colour" here in Canada. Same thing for favourite, honour, labour, neighbour, etc. Or for words like theatre, centre, etc.

Would it be very difficult to include both spellings? I know I would greatly appreciate having my Canadian spellings there in word art and journal cards, and I'm sure there are others as well. I just can't bring myself to use something that says "color" - it just looks wrong to me, and well, is wrong, if you are using Canadian spelling.

Thanks!

List of Words:

American - Canadian / British
Color - Colour
Honor - Honour
Favorite - Favourite
Neighbor - Neighbour
Labor - Labour
Check (money check) - Cheque
Mom - Mum
Theater - Theatre
Center - Centre
Traveler - Traveller
Humor - Humour
Catalog - Catalogue
 
I live in the U.S., but I can understand why this would be a problem. The same spelling would also apply to people living in Australia or anywhere in the British Isles. Something to consider. :)
 
I am Canadian, and would love it if our spelling were included in wordarts, too. For things like tags and journal cards, a blank version would be great for those who don't use English at all.
 
I would be willing. I also try to include blank bits so words can be added as well..Thanks for bringing this to my attention. :)
