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.

Too bad American's outnumber the rest of the native English speaking word. Sorry and all.

..and you appear to be another stodgy Brit that is still butt hurt that its not the grand old days of the Empire.

Deal, I have to use European spelling and you have to use US spelling its not the end of the world.

Funny fact but "Armor" is actually the proper american spelling. Just like Color.

Go and add up the numbers across the rest of the world and compare it to the USA. Sorry, but you guys are tiny compared to the rest of the world - most of which use English; not United States English.

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.

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

I bet you have a McDonald's in Canada.

LOL Like whom?

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.

It's about quality, not quantity.

I can use both interchangeably, why can't you?

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.

Neither was I, the game uses both as I pointed out earlier.

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".

America is a poor facsimile of Britain. Britain gifted America our place names, our language and our traditions yet most Americans can't even find Britain on a map. Now the troglodites have the audacity to tell us we're doing our own language wrong.

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.

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.

Well I think it's more proper we all speak Amarrian so ... Nabeh zo Amarraeh Gohan!! .. or something

Another one of my pet hates. The word you're looking for is 'alternative'. The word 'alternate' is a verb.

Anyway, back on topic.

I speak English, not American. I don't drop key words from a sentence in order to 'dumb down' and simplify my speech. And I spell words correctly, rather than phonetically.

We can understand what they're trying to say, but I don't know too many people here in the civilised world who consider Americans to be speakers of English.

This shouldn't really be a surprise considering America is rapidly being overrun by illiterate ex-slaves and Spanish-speaking illegal immigrants.

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.

Because first we kicked you out of our country, then we took over your empire.

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.

Because first we kicked you out of our country, then we took over your empire.

Which you wouldn't have ben able to do without the help of those "cheese eating surrender monkeys" as one of your presidents put it. If it wasn't for the help of the French you would still be the colonies.

I'm a bit confused about who the "we" and "Americans" you refer to might have been.

I suppose you do realise that the people involved in the American Revolution were actually mostly British subjects rebelling against their own Government? There was no such being as an "American".

I made the distinction because both Rebel and Loyalists remaining in North America would come to fall under this moniker later. For all intents and purposes they were the first Americans even if they were not called that at the time. I suppose I could be obtuse and refer to them as Continental British Colonials but I assumed everyone understood what they were and did not need to clarify.

C'mon CCP, close this thread. It open to much racism debate.
