Let's consolidate English and American

[Stephen230]

Isn’t it true that the majority of American spelling of words are in fact the original English spelling? Or at least the spelling at the time. And it’s us who have since changed them, while the Yanks have stuck with how it was back then?

Along with their constitution :)

Surely if you consolidate American and English, you get Amish. Not sure it's a flyer, tbh.

Working for a US firm, I make a point of changing the language in any documents I edit to English (UK), and changing all the Z's to S's.

p.s. thats' Zeds not Zees!

Stupid idea!, anyway have a nice day.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Been in Yanksville 12 years now and still refuse to give up the Queens / King's English.

On all my reports or emails at work I refuse to remove the U in words such as in colour and keep the S there instead of a Z such as organisation. And it's Zed not fucking Zee.

English is a language, can't you read......

And rightly so, well done that man

I doubt there is any such thing as American or British English; there are many different Englishes and that’s something to be cherished and preserved. So many things in American English are things that have persisted there that have fallen out of fashion in England. As for some accents:

I would email customer services to inform them that one of the faucets in the Gents at the top of Spiral R is faulty, but I know the reply would be along similar lines to "Fuck off yer Yanqui bastard!" so I shall desist.

Funny old place America, that has contributed lots to world culture but it gives with one hand and takes away with the other.

For every wonderful country music singer-songwriter or New York style pizza, there’s a bleached chicken and conspiracy theory.
