Reason #153 that it’s stupid to Americanize spelling of British authored books

The main character writes out a list of facts, cleverly composing it such that the first letter of each fact spells out the conclusion the reader is supposed to draw.

H-A-E-M-O-P-H-I-L-I-A

Less than half a page later, another character looks at the list and mumbles, “H, E… hemophilia?”

Rar.
