I'm a Brit. "Apologize" is not more common here, or becoming more common.

It is true that English is changing here, with certain words and phrases becoming more common, but the spelling is the same and as not changed. You will still be penalised for American spellings in exams, and work-places will require British English. Added to that, one does not easily forget their language. . . how you're taught - and expecially since birth - will inevitably affect your spelling of words and peferences in communicative styles. Added to that -?

It's always rude to correct spelling, unless it's tweaking the meaning of a word or unreadable. You don't know if someone is a foreign speaker, dyslexic, making a typo, struggling to type due to a disability, etc., and all it does it make them self-conscious and seem a little petty. There is no superior version of English, so Sannse shouldn't be presured to use American English.
