    Default Which spelling do you use?

    Do you use American or Commonwealth spelling? Is it color or colour, favorite or favourite?
    Or proper English or Americanese

    I use Commonwealth spelling. I see American spelling as just plain wrong (to put it nicely)

    Commonwealth mostly. Being Canadian and all. America is the only place that really uses American spelling. Because they like to be wrong. The same reason they don't use the metric system. Contrary-pants'.

    I usually use American spellings. Unecessary 'u's are about as straight as marick, and the letter 'z' is clearly far superior to 's'.

    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.

    American. I was raised speaking it and I do not see any problem with it at all. To say that the language I grew up on is 'wrong', simply because it differs from the Commonwealth spelling of various words, is offensive and ignorant.

    All the U's in the English language are completely necessary. It makes the language more colourful.

    I dislike the American way of spelling things.

    I spell things the English way. That's not to say that the American way is wrong, just that this was the way I was taught, and it's what I'm used to.

    The American way is wrong, however.
