| starcraft said: I once got into an argument with an American exchange girl over the spelling of various english words. I was arguing that the UK and Australia employ English as it always has been and was designed. She looked at me and said "There's 500 million English speakers in the world and 300 million of them are from the USA, get your own fucking language." I'd been trying very hard to sleep with her. Needless to say I decided to sleep with another of them instead. |
Both of you are using fallacious arguments. Before the 15th century English didn't have a definate spelling. It wasn't ALWAYs that way. Also American English is much closer to early modern english than British or Australian English. Canadian English though can probably be considered the closest to that spoken in the Early times of the modern English.
