    Default "Recognised"?

    I am insulted by this nonsense. Change it back.

    I didn't "break" it, and I see nothing to fix


    EDIT: I was wrong, it said "Recoginsed" previously before I changed it

    I'm not entirely certain, but I *think* it's that country where no-one knows how to spell anything correctly...

    Nah, I don't mind. I'm not actually seeing 'recognised' anywhere; RMs are 'recognized' as far as I can see.

    No, you're mistaken, he's from the US.

    Maybe I'll add another option in the user CP for people to choose if they see recognised or recognized, internationalisation is good after all

    Please stop degrading my language by pretending "ain't" and "y'all" are correct English even sarcastically.

    Also, please stop degrading my language by removing the Z from all words in which it belongs. It is one of the best letters in the alphabet, and doesn't get nearly enough respect from you.

    Good idea. That way, those of us who prefer correct spelling can be comforted by "recognised" members, while our transatlantic cohorts can revel in the glory of the "recognized".

    It amuses me how often you use "correct" to mean "incorrect." I will never understand that dialectic difference.

    Maybe I ain't gonna bother, I think Unne's doin stuff in the admin CP right now (BAD ABOVE THE POST POSTBITS), so it's best I not get in his way, plus I think I'm prolly turning into Aaron by doing too many custom user options like this

    It's a traditional source of friendly rivallry and amusement. Amercian English has quite a lot of different spellings to the English used in the rest of the world; this is mainly due to a linguistic "purge" a couple of centuries ago where all kinds of surplus letters were removed from American spelling. Hence, "honour" and "harbour" became "honor" and "harbor", "Pittsborough" and "Marlborough" became "Pittsburgh" and "Marlboro", and so forth. There are other differences, too - "amuminium" (pronounced "ell-yoo-minny-um") is known in the US as "aluminum" (ell-oo-min-um).

    There are people on both sides who enjoy a bit of lighthearted mockery now and then. Well, I assume we're all being lighthearted, but you can never tell with some people...
