Grammar is the order that words come in.

Spelling is the order of the letters in a word.

Two completely different things.

"This statement, being made as I ride a lift, is not British grammar. It is British spelling. My favourite colour is red. Please do not knock me of my plates, or I'll call my trouble!" (That's a Cockney accent imitation. "Plates" means "feet," since "plates-of-meat" and "feet" rhyme. "Trouble" means "wife," since "trouble-and-strife" and "wife" rhyme. This is called rhyming slang, and is found in Cockney accents.)

"This statement, which is not made in an elevator, is not American Grammar. It is American spelling. My favorite color is blue. Please do not trip me, or I'll call my husband from the UK."
