:Hard as you may find it, it is true.  I was not paying attention to any "orange bars."  And when I did notice, I immediately stopped and agreed to the terms provided.  I just kept making accurate corrections as I found them, not intentionally trying to avoid the rules. 

 :"Only Americans..."  The thing is that these correct spellings from the Webster's Dictionary are used by more people than any other form.  But I am not here to argue, I have already written that I agree to the rules, and accept the errors in spelling as they are submitted to articles from countries that use such misspellings.  I bet when you are writing HTML (universal internet language) and coding a text style, you write "center," not "centre," and "color, not "colour."  I wonder why that is? 

 A 24 hour-block seems so juvenile, especially since when I discovered the notices, I immediately ceased correcting the errors.
