Aha, that's good to know! If I'm talking about Natasha being in bed then could I refer to her 'top' and 'pants' or 'bottoms' and people would assume I meant pyjamas?

I'm kinda in denial about spelling things in an American fandom fic in American-English, because it doesn't bother me that people use American spellings in British fandom fics and I figure I have enough trouble remembering the spellings I've been brought up with, heh. But I DO like to get the words, phrases, dialogue styles etc right. Do British spellings bring you up short in a fic in American fandoms?
