Apart from signifying speech. I use American-style double quote marks there, and I'm not really sure why.

I just know the doubles as speech marks and the singles as quote marks, but I don't know where/why I picked up that quirk. It wasn't until reading a PPC mission that mentioned the difference that I realised I was doing something slightly odd.

I’m neither British nor American. I learned British English at school, but later I read lots of American texts. So, when I don’t use a spell checker, I probably mix it and use just what I remember best. Also, I may not always be aware that a word is specifically British or specifically American.

But then I try to always use a spell checker, and my main fandoms are British, so I should really try to write British English. On the other hand, my spell checkers default settings are German and American, and setting it to British is a bit tedious. So I actually write mostly American English. Unless I take the time and can justify the extra afford, like when I beta read for Brits.

My vocabulary is Ameri-tish since I use candy, truck, zipper, and movie on one hand (AmE)... but taxi, autumn, tap, and football on the other (BrE)

...use single quotes to denote quotes outside someone speaking, which is apparently British.

This is an 'example,' in case I didn't make myself clear. And that looks like it's not an example, but it is. I promise, guys.

But yeah, someone else just caught that in my writing. I have no clue how long I've been doing it for. It just looks better that way to my brain... >_

Then again, I am a rather bad speller in the first place., so, really, I don't use either one.

The first time I saw the word "grey" written out was on a crayon, which apparently used the British spelling. I learned the spelling based on that crayon, so now the "gray" form looks wrong to me.

I only use American Spellings with really the exception of grey. I use gray/grey interchangeably.

I actually have to check myself while writing missions because I have a really ingrained instinct to use the British spellings (thanks to growing up reading the original versions of Harry Potter).

But considering I plan on moving to England someday, it probably isn't a bad thing...

I'm similarly inclined toward British spelling (in most cases) despite not being British.
Generally, though, this isn't something you need to announce; just note it when you offer your services as a beta or ask for one.
