I think a lot of people around the world are already familiar with the American English because of the huge influence of Hollywood as seen and heard on TV, movies and popular culture.
Cocacolanisation, to be exact.
Can't speak of others, but I don't think it's upsetting. If they start to condescend and patronise, yes I'm upset.

Yes I do the American spelling are shorter than the English both uses in the UK and here in Ireland. For example the word color and the way I spell it colour. Another example is encylopedia shorter. I spell is the longer version encylycopaedia. I don't get upset over it.

NoAmericans are not very different . Your language especially the spelling seems to becoming the norm in our country.

That's easy. Learn the language and its proper usage, especially if you hope to become a citizen.
