No if you spell it like that and you're from America it makes you a [silly person]Originally Posted by Just Vuk Again
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.
(Not to mention we have such incredibly sexy accents)

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
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.

Re: Hello Americans
There has been a long and storied history of spelling reform. Some of the reforms caught on in some countries but not in others. That is why spellings differ between the U.S.A. and Great Britain, not due to some retention of Elizabethan spellings.
English has horrible spelling. Nobody, but nobody can justify "through." Noah Webster made valiant efforts at reform, almost all of which failed. Ben Johnson, Ben Franklin, Issac Asimov and countless others have made attempts at regularizing this miscegenated, misbegotten language. Read up. It's a whole arena of history of which you were probably unaware.
