Indeed, the very minimum standard should be International English. Or "The Queen's English". To have any validity out side of the USA. Even Canada is not to keen on American euphemism's, missing and changed letters. I have read Australian and New Zealand sites with impunity, and have not found them lacking. However American sites often use, that which is known as "Elementary Colloquialism" to "Dumb down the masses". Perhaps this is the intent of the site, or just a grammatical error, for an education site.
