American words you spell as other

[111122223138]

We know there's a few words that can change their spellings slightly due to different regions, local flavor, ect. But do you ever use words that aren't supposed to be used where you live?
ie: I spell theater as theatRE; I don't know why, but it just feels so good to spell that puppy like that.

There's others like colour/color, Dialog/Dialogue, analyze/ analyse, ect.
There's a list of some different spellings here, if you don't know about the different styles of spellin.

I don't know if it's strictly American but I pronounce words like often as "off-tun" rather than "off-un". There's a lot of words like that where I pronounce them a little more phonetically than is traditional, I think.

I am happy to say that you will not find a single example of Americanized language within my vocabulary.

I believe you mean;

"English words you corrupt with your cruel American tongues and fingers."

[Sensationalism]

I like to add "u"s to my "o"s and use an "s" instead of a "z". And centre.

[SpaceWhale]

Damnit instead of dammit. Dammit doesn't look right.

There are no American words. Just words from the English language that have been raped.

Well, english is a foreign language for me, and I only learned the british english in school, so I don´t use american english words, I guess.

When I want to refer to the letter z, I call is zed. Does that count?

I am not sure, I pronounce it zed too, is that wrong?

Call me a douche, but american english is just simplified english. As in "write it how you hear it" Dialogue becomes dialog theatre becomes theater etc. etc.

I think you mean improved with our superior dialects.

The funny thing is, I actually have to put on subtitles while watching British made movies and TV shows.

[Lost-Chances]

...Words, America owns.

I sorta have to agree with this. America has made the language a lot more understandable.

Well, the northerners did anyway. "Hauday Yawl!!" are not words.

Even for shows like Blackadder? I mean, I could understand if you'd need subtitles for Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, because that's in a dialect, but do you mean for everything or just the ones with a dialect?

[LocoJoe]

I've been spelling theatre right all this time? Stupid Firefox with it's spelling corrector. For some reason I always have a tendency to spell words in the foreign way.

Actually it is a completely different branch of dialect, with Americanized using more zs and less es, u,s and shit like that

Naw, I can understand blackladder. Doesn't mean it's funny though.

[aListers]

I spell the majority of uncommon words the american way. I spell the well known ones properly such as colour and harbour. The only main exeption is anything that ends in re or er. I always spell it the american way.

[Ptero]

I spell other as other.

[BurningJesus]

The one word I have noticed people spell differently is color.

Also spelled: colur, colour, and colaur.

What dumbasses...
