    right.

    Americans wanted to be different after they got their freedom, and one of the first things they did was invent new spelings.

    Bleh

    I can't pronounce that stupid Aluminuim thing.

    Me being British, my views are biased but:

    It's ENGLISH not American. We made it, (kinda, we actually copied it and modified it but still) so therefore you just changed it and we're right.

    However, i don't know how we pronounce "Through" Thruff...

    And Col-lore just doesn't sound right...

    in the book im reading right now, the author keeps spelling connection as 'connexion'
    he was from england born 1890ish...

    connexion is too cool for me to not assymilate into my own vocab <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    nothing like listening to people talk about 'their' countries with such statements as 'we'... especially considering most of the people here weren't involved in any of the wars or actual history any of us bicker about.

    You're a person on a landmass, like every other person on a landmass... ick, it's like listening to guys talk about football. "We scored a goal!" did you heck! the team you support scored it, you just sat there and went 'waii' <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    No, we still could exsist, seeing as how americans come from all countries more or less. Its just the heavy taxes that the british put on us made us rebel, and create our own independent country, who became a world super power in less than 200 years.
