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.

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.
