Why can't people from England spell in English

It's Theater, not Theatre

Color, not Colour...

Victoria, Australia. Near the border of Queensland in New South Wales is where I call home, but I've gotta live here while I finished school etc.

I'm from Britain



So naturally I wonder why you call the American language "English".

Whenever I see an American movie where an American actor (or actress) says "Do you speak English?" I feel like screaming at them - but YOU don't speak English EITHER!

Anyway, yeah I'm a southern Brit btw.

The way it works (as anomaly would probably confirm) is that northerners call southers "Southern Fairies". While, southerners call northerners "Northern Monkeys".
(Or something to that effect)

Isn't British English the 'world language'?
There's also India and Japan and stuff...

New Jersey



I am from New Jersey but i actually like the Anglicized spellings better, glamour over
glamor, colour over color, recognise over recognize, etc

i mean, they invented the language so i think the UK spelling is better Not again

US English is 'based' (loosely) on British English



Most countries which speak English do so because they were once owned by Britain. This includes the US.

Anyway, any Eddie Izzard fans here will have heard the sketch where he says:

You say "erbs" and we say "herbs" because there's a fucking H in it.

However, you spell through as "t h r u" and that's better, because our spelling is blatantly intended to allow people to cheat at scrabble.

(anyone remember this line later on?):
"And a q and a p and a z. Look it's a word in scrabble worth 380 points!"

your a bit thick aren't you?

its called "English" for the wholly unsurprising reason that the language originated in England...which is in Britain...which is in Europe...

so stop raping the language

By the way, we spell it "through" also, you'll only see "thru" on restaurants with drive-thru's because the signs would be too large if they had to spell the whole thing out
