"Why would you expect them to know the Brit spellings?"
I expect very little from anyone. But why would they not know British spellings? Are Americans not exposed to British literature? British books are not rewritten with alternative spellings for the US market.

"Or were you referring to me?"
No.

I was really wondering if anyone would pick up on "gobsmacked".
