Which spelling do you use?

[Jebus]

I use both without even thinking.

Plus I think theatre looks better than theater, and all that.

*nods*

[Madonna]

What, Americans speak American English and every other English-speaking country screws it up? Amazing!

It's not surprising.

[Reles]

The American way of spelling looks right to me. Who decides what's wrong and what's right? Languages change over time, it's bound to happen.

I agree with Charlie though: theatre > theater.

[Nominus Experse]

I use Commonwelath and American. Basically, it is my thoughts that I take what I presume to look best and feel more natural to me, and apply it to my writing and thoughts. Hence:

Colour
Favourite
Connection
Realize
Among friends I say football and mean soccer, but for those of whom I have not become acquanted with, I usually say soccer.
Etcetera etcetera etcetera....

[Samuraid]

The place America has it wrong (as Denmark said) is the use of non-metric units. USA should really go metric.

[Rusty]

Commonwealth and the metric system!

[blackmage_nuke]

Sometimes i forget where the "u" goes and a write coulour

[bipper]

Metric is retarded. Kilo this kilo that. Tis the speak of Drug Lords!

[Resha]

Furthermore! Sidewalk is a better word than pavement, and soccer and football is much more convenient than football and American football. Plus. calling it soccer pisses people here off to no end

ps the metric system is gay as well.

"Sidewalk" is boring, unimaginative and not half as innovative as "pavement". As for soccer...Jesus Christ, no.

I use Commonwealth; u, s, football and metric. My MS Word didn't, but I've chided him and now he complies.

[Mo-Nercy]

The Queen appears on my money, thus I speak Commonwealth.

Pavement is what you make a sidewalk and the road out of.

[Madame Adequate]

Sidewalk makes me think of New York.

Pavement makes me think of a council estate full of chavs, lightly sprinkled with discarded cigarette butts/food/drugs.

Yeah... I guess pavement IS more interesting.

And soccer sure is a weird sport, huh?

[black orb]

>>> I didnt know the differences until now, I guess I use the american spelling..

BTW, Sooner or later the metric system will take over the world, so you better change to it now..

[bipper]

If you support the Metric System then you supprt the terrorists!

That's right world! We are comming for you next!

[Peegee]

I have no idea any more but I think they spell english randomly in Hong Kong. It's spelled both americanese and commonwealthese.

Maybe because they have both american and english customers I dunno.

I personally spell everything english-like.

What colour do you want your bourdeur?
