I understand that english is a complex language with complex sounds, dialects, and irregularities...but this I've never been able to understand. |
American English is the variation away from standard English, not the other way around. The American's removed the vowel for the same reason they invented the atrocity 'thru'.
Also I have a question for the Americans; why the hell can't you just adopt the metric system?!
