My spellcheck hates Canadians. Even though I set my default language to 'English-Canadian,' it always switches back to U.S. and tries to correct my 'Us'. Bastard.

I use my own mixture of all the forms of English.
I use the Us, but I use American terminology.
I pronounce neu- as NYUUUUUUUUUUUUU (And, to a lesser extent, the word "new.") despite having what's dubbed as an "American Mid-West accent," but I commonly use American slang.
I cross my 0s, my Zs, and my 7s, but I... umm... I have no more American English things that I do to counter the Non-American English that I use.
I also write my date in the Date-Month-Year format. And, to avoid confusion, I write the month out instead of using a number. 'Cause 3-1-2015 could get confusing, primarily among people who use the Month-Date-Year format.

I got off track, oops, i did it again... whoops. I use the Us, and since I have my computer's default language set to US English, it gives me that little squiggly red line that says I'm spelling it wrong when I spell it like: coloUr, honoUr, favoUrite, neighboUrhood, etc. I actually changed my phone's default language to "English (United Kingdom)" one time.
