No its not incorrect. It's the way you spell things. In fact I think is
probably a better way but my Australian dictionary does not agree with me
yet. (Dictionaries just reflect usage. Thay are not necessarilly
proscriptve) The English and Australians spell things differently that all.
Just that when you are searching for Chilli sites on the web, try this
spelling too as you will get more sites than you would get with "Chili"
spelling.
