The basic approaches (that I can think of):
Ignore that you ever said something
Deny you ever said something
Explain how what you said really meant something what turned out
Explain why you were right all along
Shrug your shoulders and say things change
Or that rarity: Apologize/Acknowledge Were Wrong

resistance is futile!
But maybe time to start learning Chinese!
As for the belief that the English spelling is THE way to go: Well this is an international messageboard. Who's to say for sure how it "should" be spelt. Even the word soccer seems to be increasingly prevalent. Otherwise why have a site: soccernet.

England invented the word soccer, do behave, we just don't use the word. Written American English is based around bone idleness as you well know. Spell it how you think it sounds, still not correct. Just the same way that America is ruining the Spanish language so English is not alone. So there Lootenant.

apologiSe FFS Sorry, pet hate. Considering america is founded by the English and they speak the English language they should use it properly!!! the English language left on board the beagle from Plymouth with the founding fathers, when they left they took our languge and left behind an 'English' language that was bastardised and corrupted by French and other Latin influence, words like color and nite were all ways used in olde english and were cleansed from the language we now know as our own, so really It is us Limeys that speak the deformed tongue!!. sorry will think of something funny to say later!
