Not really. British spellings with a "u" are an affectation left over
from the days when French was the language of the court. They're not
"English" spellings.

One can't fault anyone for not having a deep grasp of quantum
mechanics. Richard Feynman, a quantum mechanician who won the Nobel
Prize in Physics, famously said "...On the other hand, I think I can
safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics."

Still, there are a few basic tenets in QM that are accessible to the
layman, including the fact of the quantum, and an educated person
probably ought to be conversant with those tenets. Even Feynman's
little book Quantum Electrodynamics is accessible to a layman by the
second or third reading.

Considering that all but the USA uses what is commonly known as
international english, it would be proper english.

It isn't just the "ou", but also tre instead of ter. (centre, metre etc)

note that meter is either a verb or an instrument to measure something,
not a distance.

center is a verb, refers to action of putting something at the centre of
things.


There is international english and there is US english. It is the USA
which deviated from international english, not the other way around.

Simply geographical differences. [But you surely mean more than one

Agree that anyone using those spellings is ignorant. You, however, 
committed a typo on the word "buoy"

> and effect instead of affect, affect instead of effect, etc.

If not ignorance, then poor edumacation. There a a million other 
examples. As Ed Newman said, "Avoid cliches like the plague. And as I 
said a thousand times if I've said it once, avoid hyperbole."

Literally, then, if you have choice A, and two alternatives, B and C, 
that makes but three choices.

Sorry, but that is just plainly wrong!
If you have choice A and *one* alternative, B and C, that makes exactly 
two possibilities:

A and B or A and C

Else, you would have avoided the expression "alternative" and expressed 
it "you have got three options, A,B and C".

Consider flights.

Option A is New York Los Angeles
Option B is New York to Chicago
Option C is Chicago to Los Angeles.

Your sentence can be interpreted as:


You have choice A or (B and C) which means:

you can choose the direct flight, or a combination of 2 flights with
connection at Chicago.
