I work selling ITIL training which is a trademark owned by the OGC (Office of Government Commerce) and the books are published by the UK's TS0 (The Stationary Office) which publishes most of our government documents.

Recently our source material was updated from Version 2 to Version 3. Whilst going through the draft books our Director pointed out that it had all changed from Ã‚Â£ to $ and s changed to z as in specialize. He made sure that our materials corrected this Americanism.

Thankfully the TSO changed this back in the final drafts but very nearly was something invented by the UK civil service taken over by the Americans.. MOF, SAS 70 anyone?
