I found out last night to my amuzeamasement that New Zealand, England, The USA and Australia have two different ways of writing the word Tire/Tyre...

NZ and the USA both write it = Tire
AUS and England both write it = Tyre

So... for those of you who thought my spelling was crap.....

(I will write it Tyre from now on.... but it just looks wrong)
