Please don't tell me you're one of those "American English isn't real English" people, and I hope that was just a joke.

It's normal for variants of a language to develop in other geographical locations. I don't understand why that's a big deal to people. Also, American English is hardly different from British English. Sure, a few words are spelled slightly different, and we call some things by other words. HOWEVER, that even happens WITHIN a country as well. It's called a dialect.

If it really was just a joke and it seems I'm overreacting, I'm just sick of people whining about friggen dialects on either side.

Sorry if it seemed serious. I was just messing. Honestly it is annoying, you get a lot of Americans in gaming that say English isn't a real language and that American is the original. Personally I haven't seen anyone seriously talking about it the way I was.

But anyway, my apologies if I offended anyone.

And I've seen it the other way around as well. I think it's stupid that people have issues with either to begin with.

That said, I got the habit of spelling it "colour" for a while for the hell of it until high school essays pushed me back to leaving the U out.

We would lose marks in English if we misspelt anything. American English counted as misspelling.

Also fixed the count

The teachers would just tell me to spell it in the American standard instead of marking it down right away.

Speaking of American English, something people often don't appreciate is that many "American words" are actually much older British words which became obsolete.  Like faucet and pail.  So in fact it's the English who are the young upstarts!


Also, I mess up the count (again) some posts back >.>


Sorry :(
