Had you won the war against the poorly equiped farmers, then you would not have to worry about America but since we kicked the crap out of you pansy Englishman, you will have to deal with re learning your own language we stole from you and butched.
Americans are just wondering when the English are going to finally give up and just become the 51st state, its not like the UK is much of a country anymore.
Also We do not speak English in America, we speak American. American is a mix of english, slang, ebonics and made up stuff. |

Well I can't speak for all Americans, but everybody in Colorado is pretty much illiterate and we all ride buffalos around everywhere. How about cutting us some slack? We don't even know the difference between the queens english and 'merica spanglish.

It's an honest question, as there is not really any difference between the two, but do you know why there is a difference in preference? And how that came to be?

While I might take a little offense to the American stereotype, I have to 100% agree with you. I'm a ******* American, and it pisses me off when 99% of my society uses bastardized terminology as the standard. |

No it hasn't, you are incredibly ignorant.
In fact this change came about in Crucible.
Please be more aware of your topic before commenting on it. It might save the embarrassment of being proven to be just another ignorant player with an incorrect statement.

This is Middle English written by Geoffrey Chaucer (heard of that guy brits? I think he was Englyshe...) :
'Wepyng and waylyng, care and oother sorwe I knowe ynogh, on even and a-morwe,' Quod the Marchant, 'and so doon oother mo That wedded been." (Modern English - 'Weeping and wailing, care and other sorrow I know enough, in the evening and in the morning,' said the Merchant, 'and so does many another who has been married.' )
You'll notice things have changed a bit... *gasp*! 
Also - too late..."American" English is no longer "American". The world has taken it and made it a tool for communication. It's all about communication. Someone from Petrograd and someone from Peru can communicate. This is a good thing. Maybe instead of complaining English people could think: "Wow...something we started has changed into something the world uses as a tool...cool..." Times change. Lately, times change very fast.

I'm an American. In eve, I always spell "honourable" with a 'u' in order to add a bit of a chivalric color to the word. This is especially true when speaking about "honourable duels". 
There are actually more English speakers in China than there are in the U.S., so the argument of "majority gets their way" is rather hilariously bogus. Imagine for a moment that all English speakers agreed to speak English with a Chinese accent, simply because so many English speaking Chinese speak it in that manner.
I want maximum efficiency and simplicity in a language. I've never been a fan of extra flair added to a word simply to make it sound cool, unless there is some hidden meaning in the flair (e.g. honour duel). Hence, I don't necessarily like words like colour, armour, "aluminium".
People will always have their individual preferences. As such, when you have a large enough group of people that disagree, languages diverge. I find it intriguing to consider if UK English and US English will eventually diverge to the point that they are no longer reciprocally easily understood. |

Anyway it's all a very clever ploy by the Amercian Goverment to change the way English is spelt into a standardised USA format all through the power of Micosoft Office and its ****** spell checker.
Also If people want to speak English I don't really care how they spell it. We should be proud it's used so widely. God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"-á I came second and won a toaster. |

Maybe because you tried to get us to actually pay taxes to fund a war we asked you to fight and then ****** up your enforcement? I mean seriously. Most Americans didn't even pay taxes at the time, and your taxes weren't even unreasonable compared to what the average British citizen paid. We were completely in the wrong, the only valid argument we had against the British was the lack of representation and your general annoyingness. You completely botched the war. World's greatest navy my ass. You couldn't even backup your ground troops from the sea when the French moved in. So you just gave up. When your nation collectively goes back in time and handles the revolution like somebody not completely ******** you can get your weird spellings back.
Edit: Also stop adding unnecessary R's to everything. It's saw, not sawr. Data not Darta. |
