I'd like to point out that I'm marrying an American in January so it's pointed out in jest, not me being mean!

I agree with/accept all three of your excuses, escpecially the last one. That family sure knows how to work (i.e. cheat) the system, not once, but twice.

but what would the English do if not poke fun at our transatlantic neighbours

That whole z or s issue is just a pain in the butt, frankly, especially in science.
