These images are posted to illustrate a point that was raised in a conversation I had with  Tai-1. It should be noted that he is in Trinidad, a British Commonwealth nation (last I looked), and he learned British spellings in school. Recently (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58529971/), he had a Canadian character say "tyre" in a panel. We'll ignore for the moment that "tyre" and "tire" sound the same, so how would one know the spelling?

I noted to him a fact that he hadn't known (and I only knew from these coupons) that Canadians, unlike many other Commonwealth nations, spell the word "tire." These coupons (Canadian Tire currency) are near-iconic in Canada, with their mascot (Sandy McTire) being well known.

Indeed, my parents (who were born and raised in Ireland) only broke themselves of the habit of using different words and spellings over a period of time, and every so often, I'd hear them use things like "rubbish bin" instead of "garbage can," or see them use "colour" instead of "color." I, myself, deliberately use "colour" and "valour" and the like because, damnit, I think the word looks better that way.

The point that  Tai-1's cartoon raised is: when you have a character from a certain nation, should they "speak" using words as used in their nation? In fact, I recall a mystery in "The Baffle Book" where a crucial clue that an American had written a note, rather than a Brit, was a certain spelling.
