"This year I gained my first UK based client. I did not thoroughly research British versus US English and sent them an e-book filled with spelling errors, according to their preferred English. I was very embarrassed that I did not have the foresight to think beyond my bubble, being sensitive to their language preferences. I ended up hiring a professional editor from the UK, out of pocket, so that I could be sure the second version my new client received was accurate. Now, when I intake new clients, I ask them which English version they prefer."
