All the time. Depending on the app and device, my spell checker might be set to American English, British English or Spanish. And I never check which before I start writing.

One quirk of not being a native speaker of English is that I don't really have a default spelling - colour or color, it depends on what the spellchecker says

I'm American and am pretty inconsistent with some British vs American spellings. Definitely not with o vs ou, but I couldn't even tell you which I use more between gray and grey.
