"As the old saying goes...what was it again?"
Why has no one brought up that in Britain, fag = cigarette?
America sucks balls. Just wait till you read the constitution and then read some new policy.
Freedom of speech. . . as long as it doesn't offend minorities.
I don't know if you heard about that but Googling could become " the " therme to say : Searching in the web
And, God damn, it suck as shit ! I hope no one'll never say "Wal Marting" for " buting or shopping" or " "McDonalding" for "eating or poop by the wrong way"

To be honest missing the occassional 'u' out of a word is the least annoying thing the American language does. Far more irritating is the use of whole different words to say the same thing, or some really bizzare pronunciation, though that may be a more regional thing.
For example:
UK- 'queue' USA- 'wait in line' (that one is by far the most annoying)
UK- 'pavement' USA- 'sidewalk'
UK- 'holiday' USA- 'vacation'
And pronunciation:
UK- herb USA- 'erb
And as for spelling errors:
UK: aluminium USA: aluminum
And I've always spelt it 'doughnut', never seen doughnought or whatever it was before.
There are plenty of other examples, but having lived here for 6 months I don't tend to notice them anymore. Honestly it isn't that big a deal- you get used to it pretty quickly, and I've got used to the strange looks I get if I use a word that isn't used over here.

I use pavement, sidewalk, holiday, and vacation in everyday speech. And I'm American.

UK's English is just fucked up and roundabout. Simplicity w/ precision is key to a language.
I called the evolution of language. You guys are using an archaic spelling. Get with the times.
