Hello.
I have a question. Why does American English state that the correct spelling is "color". Then why is the correct spelling "ridiculous" and not "ridiculos", eh?

Americans tried to shorten and change words to be trendy, removing some of the French and Germanic influences.

We Americans are just born better than the rest of the world.
lol, actually I use the British spelling for some words (such as colour) because I think that they make more sense, but at the same time, some American words make more sense to me.

Re: Hello Americans
I grew up in America so I just assumed the words were spelled that way so that is the way you wrote them. I was never taught of any reason for it, not in HS anyway. I took no English classes in college. Perhaps to be trendy, but perhaps for ease in spelling and while writing though I don't know. Could be that high and mighty sense America holds over the rest of the world too though! Anyway, I am glad they are spelled as such because my spelling is particularly bad anyway, any more difficult, and no one could read any of my posts! ;)

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: Hello Americans
Aren't American spellings supposed to be closer to English as it was before it branched off into US/rest of world categories.
In saying "rest of world", I think that Canada and Australia use the British way of spelling?
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

I hate my accent..when i mean to say iron it comes out Aihn and when i try to say hour it sounds like Ahr.
Stupid speech.
Re: Hello Americans
don't be jealous; having a midland accent is not as great as you think. people still jab me for saying "skull", even though I'm actually saying "school" (and neither sound exactly the same, but people still do it.).

All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut
