Spelling! - This is an Australian site, so some words have different spellings than American sites.
The most noticable differences are words ending in "our" like colour and flavour, some words ending in "ise" like realise and organise and words ending in "re" like centre and metre.
Also, in the context of these pages, "valves" and "tubes" are the same thing.
