In my forum post on possible covers for my short stories, the topic came up about whether to use UK or American spelling for my title: "Strange Neighbours".
I understand why this came up - I'll probably be selling this on the American Amazon after all.
My reasoning for this spelling is that my stories are written about South Africa, in South African English and as some others said in that conversation, the stories would probably be a cultural stretch for many readers in any case, never mind the title spelling! I still need to make up my mind about this myself.
I did a quick poll in other social media networks, and came back with a lot of "Dont change it! Americans think "ou" is classy!" type responses
But leaving aside my particular case - what advice is there on this issue in general? Which would you use?
