Website editing ... why "British style"?

3 weeks 6 days ago
#103545
Would someone please call/email me?
This effort needs a style guide for correct and consistent uses of punctuation, grammar, and spelling. 
Who puts a colon after a preposition?
Why is "favorite" spelled with a "U"?
Why do you lead with single quotation marks?
Why is this edited to British English (and even then, not very well or very consistently)?
I want to help. 
Toastmasters has published absolutely excellent (flawless) materials for the 25 years I've been a Toastmaster. Let's continue the tradition.

FTH does not offer not offer phone support.

And TI is an international organization so why not Canadian, British, Australian, New Zealand.
Thank you,

I wouldn't mind so much if it was CORRECT and CONSISTENT.
Putting a colon after a preposition is incorrect in any style.
Instead of getting defensive, why didn't you take me up on my offer to help?
I've lectured as far away as India about punctuation and grammar and written 10 books about the topic, including three written for the British English market, so, my friend, if I offer, you should say yes.

Give me some examples of what you are referring to and what you see as a correction.
Thank you,
