Some examples... Favorite Favourite Gray Grey Color Colour Molding Moulding All are acceptably correct, but the first ones for each word are the ones we typically use and are taught(in America). So, what's up with all of this? Why did we change so much? Do things like these make learning the English language harder for people?

Kind of, but it's not really important considering either spelling works just fine.

You mean for non-native speakers? Not really. It's just that in any exams (eq for the Cambridge certificate) or in any formal situations, mixing American and British is frowned upon and even sanctioned. You must pick one and stick with it.
