Forums - General Discussion - Is British English or American English Used More Frequently?

Pretty sure British English is taught everywhere in Europe (probably other continents as well)

Though that doesn't mean that I don't use some American words here and there.

I just pick the words or the spelling I like most.

Looking at words like color and tyre, it just hurts my eyes. Colour and tire FTW !!!

How do you feel about Cooperation?



Pixel Art can be fun.

I can only find English ones.

Should be co-operation but in German I'd write it Kooperation (which is also the only correct way to spell it in German).



I will point out that the difference between British and American spelling is only a very, very minor facet of the difference between British and American English as a whole.

Asian countries speak American English for the most part, they just suck at it.
