The software was made in america.

If it wasnt, its common sence for it to be in american as more people from america speak english.

No- they speak American- its like English but not as advanced as they've still not mastered the correct way to spell colour

I use spellcheck to make signs and it often catches me out.

What are you doing that's auto correcting ? My version of Word for instance autocorrects from the U.S spelling to the UK one.

In some software, you do have a choice.

Nutshell answer is: American companies are making the products, for the most part, and American business interests are world wide more influential than British or the other countries that speak English. Canada uses the same English spellings as America. I hear few if any British people complain about Canadians. What spellings Australia uses I'm not aware of.
