Answers:
There is a slight difference between American, British Aussie & New Zealand, and other English speaking countries, as to how we spell words, this includes how we may say or pronounce a word too.

There is no right or wrong, it just depends where you come from.
Why do you spell "of" with a "v"?

In the US colour is spelled without the "u".

Each country has control of it's own language.
Because they are Australian and not American, their language came from Great Britain, just like yours and the American version of English has deviated from the mother tongue more than theirs.

Vie la difference
well its in 19 dictionaries spelt DEFENCE
so who is the odd ball lol
The same reason England adds a "u" after o's in certain words, like Color or Colour. Both are correct.
No need to get aggressive.
We spell it our way, your spell it your way. There are lots of spelling variations between the two countries. That's just the way it is.
We have an extra 'i' in aluminium too. You should really be tearing your hair out now!
