Why is it that us americans have to ruin alot of things?
I'm American and proud, but come on.
It's not favorite. It's favourite. Same with colour, honour, and so on.
There are probobally only 1 out of a million americans that spell things correct.
The english created the language. I think they know how to spell it.

That IS the correct way to spell it.

No they just think they are being all uppity and proper.

Because we fought for our independance, and spell shit or refer to things how we damn well please.

Haldið allir saman kjafti og deyjið!

I only use that one sometimes.
That's really, REALLY hard to get used to.
I just recently (within the past 2 months) started hating the way I was spelling things, then I remembered the "biscuit" thing, but couldn't get used to it.

Yeah, we really "ruined" those words. I mean, they were such great words, and we defiled them. Bad us, bad!

The English have made a bloody mess of their own language too.
Canadian English is where it's at.

In all fairness, I prefer writing Jail as opposed to Gaol.

The omission of the letter 'u' ruins the word? You certainly have some high standards.

You mean the British actually spell it that way?

Fucking idiots :-)

Icelandic is such a pretty language.

I wish they taught it in schools over here.

I say adVERtisement to make people angry. :P And it does too, lol. I also say schedule "SHEDYULE", lol.

It's fun. =3 You should try writing your ors as ours, but make sure you're consistent. ;) Do it at school and see what happens. Then report about it on the BBS. >=3

Eh, that's not the only "U" related problem: replacing "ough" with "u", as much sense as that may make, for instance.

Gaol is the 'official' way of spelling the word in the UK, Australia and many other English-speaking countries. However, more people nowadays tend to spell it jail as this is easier.

Ooooh, for dough "zero" right?

Now that name makes more sense. :P

Well, I'd fault the text and instant messaging revolution for that, rather than America.
That, and snappy advertising. What do I know though?

I've seen donut and doughnut... never... that. Is that how the brits spell it? Gross.

I'm liking the archaic English you got going on there. I see you're using the old letters edh (ð), thorn (þ) and ash (æ).

I'd rather americans have color, armor, favorite instead of bonjou le que te lala bla duech

Lolwut? You bothered to look that up and or translate it?

And this guy is a dick. We changed it for one thing, to be different from the British, and second, when the fuck does th "U" come into place?

I say color, not coluur.

I think it's really the official official spelling, not really used, i think. I know I've seen the word Nought. Of the spelling, I prefer doughnut, really.

Oh. Nought means like, none or zero. Or like... lost.
