[edit] Defense vs Defence

I find it mildly amusing that FFI uses the mostly British English word Defence in its English language title, while at the same time describing itself as the "chief adviser on defence-related science and technology to the Ministry of Defence and the Norwegian Armed Forces’ military organization" (the latter word being the U.S. English usage, contrary to British, which would be organisation). Oh well, they are engineers and scientists after all, and is better employed doing (hard) core research rather than polishing their written English (?). --Wernher 06:44, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
