Miss-spelling?

Not sure where this would really belong as it isn't a big deal, but I noticed a misspelling...
He is in his twenties and is efficiently working on project 'Farming to get spinage'. He wears nothing worth mentioning.
As you can see, spinach isn't right. Didn't know if this was caught already.

I thought tomatoe was the British/Canadian spelling, and tomato the American. Same with potatoe/potato, harbour/harbor, labour/labor, etc.

To add to that- I also have a fairly large dilemma deciding on what English language to use. It's the choice between American, or British.
Recently I've decided to stick with American, as that's the majority, though British/Australian I sometimes leak in too.

I spell things however I feel the most comfortable spelling them, as long as it is corrrect in some dialect of English. Fore example, I have always spelled gray "grey" (Thanks to the Crayola Corporation).
Oh, and it's maneuver.

I take it gray is the American spelling? Because I've never seen it before :S
