Might I ask why you subjugate the people who can spell and pronounce the language correctly to such fallacy? Why am I forced to spell like an American when I am English? I cannot comprehend why, I, as an Englishman, am forced to improperly spell my native language.
Discuss.

But on a serious note, I do not know why I am forced to spell like a foreigner within my own language, I feel like there should be an Oxford English Localisation for those of us who cannot and will not adapt to another style of English.

You're adding "U" in completely pointless places, it doesn't make you look intelligible, it makes you seem parallel to the stereotypes we have of Americans; uneducated, incompetent morons.

I'm not mad per se, so i'm in before some idiot decides to spray his internet e-peen all over the place, I find it quite upsetting that people who use alternate methods of spelling are forced to spell like Americans. I have no quarrel with Americans, I find it unfair and quite frankly biased that i'm not given a choice to whether or not I can spell English the way I was taught in England

That makes no sense, McDonald's is a brand, not a language or dialect. The majority of the English speaking world speaks Oxford English, and why I am not given a choice whether I am allowed to speak it is biased.

We have double the population of the UK, Australia and New Zealand combined. Canada uses American spelling and eveyone else isn't a NATIVE speaking country. It just depends on who you learn your English from. When I work in Norway I joke that they have British accents.....Japanese and Koreans often use the American dialect in my experience.
Why don't you count the entirety of Europe, Africa, most of Asia, Australia, New Zealand. That equates to 600-700 million people to your paltry 400 or so. Its not a question of whether they are native speaking or not, most countries teach English from Oxford English dictionary, in lieu of this, they speak proper English.

I can, but its the simple fact of why I was not given a choice on which dictionary I wish to use.

Give evidence of this. So far, CCP has renamed everything that would be considered the correct spelling, i.e in my OP. "Defence" was renamed to "Defense" and "Armour" renamed to "Armour".

Good lord no, I have enough trouble trying to understand the Northerners, let alone this incomprehensible spluttering of rabble that self proclaimed gangsters use to communicate.

37.41% of the voters are from the United States.
This proves nothing, the fact is we are not given an alternate localisation like Russian, German or Japanese.
Edit: And by your logic, we should have a Oxford English localisation as the UK is the second largest subscriber base.

I wonder if englanders have a problem understanding us if/when they take vacations in the states.
Then again the american southern dialect was a linux language pack once.
We have some trouble understanding Americans, especially when they want to go to Leicester or Leicestershire. They tend to pronounce it as "Liechester" or "Liechestershire." Another example would be "scone", they pronounce it as "scone" where it is pronounced as "scon".

That is the worst argument I have ever heard. America did barely nothing on the European front, the soviets took most of the losses and did most of the damage. So do not ever bring up such a futile argument and wave it around as if you matter.
