Muriel Crothers, I think you'll find that kerb is British when it refers to the edge of ba pavement but curb when it refers to curbing behaviour, for instance. Organise is British but is seen as optional.

British is organize not organise, British is curb, not kerb. Please check

Claire McMillan, Your examples quoted - Scotland and Ireland, viz., "loch", etc., are out of context, since they are Gaelic terms, a language in its own right, not a dialect of English.
