Depends on whether you include all the inhabitants of specific areas of the 
world or just those with internet access.  Those with access to the net seem to 
be skewed towards North America and western Europe with a few blips from 
Isreal, Australia and New Zealand.  If taken as representing the total 
population of the world, per capita, those who spell chilli probably outnumber 
those who use chile (UK, OZ, NZ, India and the rest of the southeast Asian 
Subcontinent as well as a good deal of the Pacific island nations.).
