        why can't the US just align on the same spelling / units of measurement as everyone else in the world

        They're right on measurements, but their spelling is fakakta. All those unneeded Us (harbour), not to mention whole syllables like Worcester

        where do you get the idea it was only UK news that's important, or that this account was for UK only???????

        It is true though. Constant updates, exclusively on US news

        BBC Breaking News is world news, as far as I'm aware the US comes under that bracket

        I think it's fair comment. It's dominated by US affairs and any easy reporting on trump. Not much mention of UK or other World countries!
