Americans pronounce and spell things differently. Get over it. It's been over two hundred years since independence; we won it fair and square. That gives us the right to spell things any way we damn well please.

Just because you lot are rigid and resistant to change, doesn't mean that's the best way to be. Adaption is necessary to survival.

Thank you for your kind attention and the use of the hall.

you may have beaten the Brits 200 years ago - But we whipped your Yankee asses and sent them home again in tears in the war of 1812 - lol! And it was Canadians who pulled the pan out of the fire for you Yanks at Omaha Beach.

I figure that gives us some bragging rights!

Besides - if you insist you speak English, then it should be the language used by the majority of English speakers around the world ***weg***. Now, if you want to concede you speak and write Usian, not English, I'll concede your right to butcher your language any way you see fit!

Hehehe - don't you just love language nazis Rose
