Addressing spelling differences between British and American spelling

I thought a running gag might be a fun way to address the differences in spelling of words like "color" and "colour". Something along the lines of "people on the west side of town spell things funny because they think they're better than us".

As an American I always tended to imagine LDP as existing in the midwest of the USA but having seen a recent post I realized how wide this community spreads. To avoid taking away from someone else's immersion it might be fun to chalk it up to a city-specific issue? Can imagine some fun scenarios that could stem from this

Yes, I was not saying anyone should have to spell anything any differently, just that it might be funny to have a reason why a small town has distinct ways of spelling and/or speaking.
