Maybe I'm tired but this comment reads to me as if you're disagreeing with me when everything you say supports what I said? My objection/question was how you came to the conclusion it's a US/UK thing. There's no support for that in the article.

We can both be tired, it's OK.

I based it on this

Thanks to Phyllis Blanchard ExtrOversion is the prominent spelling of the word in the United States today.

In her 1918 paper, "A Psycho-Analytic Study of August Comte" she writes:

"In order to understand the marked contract between Comte's mental attitude during his early years and that of his later life, we must keep in mind Jung's hypothesis of the two psychological types, the introvert and extrovert, -- the thinking type and the feeling type."

Not only did she change the spelling of the word, but she also changed the definition!
