All text should be written in British English and ''not'' American English. Examples of how text should be written are below.
Because ''[[Count Duckula (TV series)|Count Duckula]]'' is a British cartoon, all text is required to be written in British English. Examples of how text is required to be written are below.


* <span style="color: green">Count Duckula's favourite food is broccoli sandwiches.</span>

<center>or</center>
* September 6th 1988, 00:00
