Sorry, saw it typed yet again this morning, amazing how many people do it. Just had to get it off my chest, lol.

Pehaps its because Im Australian and Microsoft American spelling also gets my goat?

I'd say you have some "perfectionist tendencies", which is alright as long as you are realistic and have no expectation to raise others to your level of functioning.

In the grand scheme of things, is a misspelled word really that important...even if it happens frequently?

Be content that you spell the word "correctly", and leave the rest alone. I don't believe that your feelings have anything to do with "American spelling"...the word of the day is "tolerance". Develop some, you will be much more calm and happier!
