True. In American English, a list of 3 items is usually "bacon, eggs, and
cheese" - not "bacon, eggs and cheese." The later implies a connection
between the items, but the former doesn't.

One reason is that the differences between American and British
English are more involved than simply changing the spelling of a few
words. Punctuation and grammar are also involved. If you changed
behavior to behaviour in an otherwise AE sentence, the sentence would
then be wrong in both languages. See
