Analyzed as Analysed

I frequently commit this spelling mistake. Analyzed is the correct spelling as per US English. Most of the time, I write it as Analysed. This is wrong in US English. However this is the correct spelling in UK English. So, if you are communicating in US English, then you need to follow the first one. Analyzing is also for Analysing in US English.

Follow vs. Fallow......
I believe it's follow ???
Follow is to come or go after, whereas Fallow means to leave a land.

And UK English is spelt 'English'.

I also believe that the 'z' is the correct original English spelling, but due to the popularity of it in America, Microsoft assumed that we must use 's' not 'z'.

Similar to how Apple thinks that British calendars start on a Monday even though they traditionally start on a Sunday (due to the fact that we're also a Christian country).
Thanks Nick for your inputs :-)

Yacht or Yatch?

 Today, while working on a workout on the  Elevate app, I came across a word and I spelled it as Yatch. And it was wrong, obviously. I might have learned the correct spelling of Yacht when I was a kid. But over the years, I had remembered it as Yatch.  I guess it happened because I did not knew the correct pronunciation of the word. Instead of pronouncing it as  jɒt , I had alway pronounced it as  j atʃ , similar to 'match'.

Litre/Liter or Litter?

Litre/liter and Litter sounds so similar. But today I typed litter, when I wanted to type liter. Then I realised that I made some mistake and rectified it. Litter means trash, while liter/litre is a metric unit of capacity.
