Words in the United Kingdom are not spelled wrong, but they are spelled differently from the way they are spelled in the United States.
Standardized spelling is a relatively recent concept. Look at how people wrote 200 years ago and you will see everyone spelled as they thought best, and many variations can be seen, even in the same letter. Standardized spelling developed long after the US split from Great Britain and the two settled on slightly different standards. By the time communications became easy and common for most people over such distances, it was too late to settle on a common standard spelling.
So the UK spells "colour" and "aluminium" and the US uses "color" and "aluminum." These are minor differences that people simply need to understand and tolerate, or even simply accept. Just as we need to accept that in the US we talk about the "trunk of a car" and in the UK they speak of the "boot of a car."
