I think you rather missed the point there, Terminal.
Re the OP, this is the sort of spluttering nonsense that retired colonels with nothing better to do write to the broadsheets in green ink. The English language is in constant flux, it always has been, and to affect surprise that American English is used in an internationally played game is ludicrous with even a brief consideration of recent world history. |

Another thread that's a fuss about nothing.
I think basically, it's because if you speak/read English you can understand American. Most game software I've seen uses the American version mainly because their gaming market and population are much larger.
There's nothing stopping you typing in English, it's not like it's going to corrupt the way you spell something. Not unless you're a complete moron. |

That's only because of all the illegal immigrants, if you actually counted the number of people who are literate in English it would be a lot less. WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place... |

The color of the knight's armor added to his honor of defense to his castle. He ran to the center of battlefield and pierced through the enemy knight like his armor was made of aluminum. Even though he was within meters of defeat, the fibers of his undershirt remained wholly intact. |

Not all English folk ***** about such things.
I for one would not care if we changed armour to armor, it would make it easier for non-Americans/non-English to understand. We borrowed Armour (Armoire) from the French anyway in the Middle Ages. |

I just can't let this slide. Britain didn't "gift" us with anything. The only thing you attempted to gift us with was an oppressive monarchy, which we stood and fought to get away from. We also have no need to find Britain on a map, because, to be quite honest, we could care less about you. Go drink your tea, and continue thinking that English belongs to you.

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.
Somebody is suffering from humor deficiency. Lighten up M8. If the many non-English-speaking people who play EVE can manage just fine...what reason do you have to complain? |

In any case, the plural of American is Americans, no matter which version you use.
Onictus wrote: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. You think those are the only countries with native English speakers? Ye gods, I've heard stories about the inadequacies of the American education system, but I didn't think it was that bad.
Besides, on that basis only Americans who are descended from native English speakers are relevant, which will have a drastic effect on your figures.

Who Kicked the British out? American revolutionaries? I think not. They'd all but lost until the French army did the job for them.

I will add to the trollfest...
You should be thankful to the Americans for saving your butt TWICE last century. You could have easily been speaking German.
And that little "War" in the Falkland Islands back in 82'... yeah, you might want to thank America for that one too. You Brits took the credit for the win, however, you also took America's Fuel, Food, Ammo, replacement parts, replacement Harriers, Intelligence and Spy Satellite photos to support that war.
So to change a few words is minor in comparison to the 300,000 Americans that have died for your country.

The English are not without achievements of their own. For example, it's obvious they invented the toothbrush because had it been invented anywhere else it would be called the 'teethbrush'.
