Why do you care

Pretty depressing tbqf

>when a non-native english speaker uses american spellings of words

Because schools teach American English here.

>english speaker
Sorry, I speak American.

American English > British English

it's probably because they have American spell check installed.

>not colour
>not humour
>not armour
>not travelling
>not recognise

wew Iad

>when an anglo uses latin alphabet

agreeing with you on that one lad

I've always seen it spelled "travelling"

Pearl Harbour

delet this

American>english

American English is inherntly the more efficient version.
So it would make sense that foreigners would gravitate towards it

>inherntly
kill yourself

Nourmandy

thats ignorant

Sorry but LA/NYC have replaced London as the HNIC of the English language.

Even The Economist agrees - The world long ago stopped speaking English, the world speaks American.
More specifically the world speaks Los Angeles and Manhattan.

>br*tish english

American spelling is the poor mans spelling. Nobody takes anyone who spells it "color" seriously.

I always use the English spelling, my greatest friend.

Sry but I speak American...

D-DELET THIS!!!

I am also gravely disgusted by this.

Britannia, why did all your children grow up to be so retarded?

They have no hounour.

we're retarded but the spelling isn't the problem

Hodor?

honour*

Tuff luck.

Oi, you got aye fockin' problam, mayte?

and to think we JUST nuked you twice. Imagine if we did it 40 times like we should have.

Who the fuck learns American English? Everything is BE here

I think colour is the cooler spelling. I was always told there was two spellings.

same
honour, armour, and colour all look better imo
centre is retarded though

you don't want a z in your fucking recognize? poopy pussy face asshoule!

Nige is based, survived assassination attempt!

A lot of European countries teach original English though...

stay strong
why you hatin on my nigga

I think pretty much all European schools teach British English on paper. But the media and internet turns that into American English.

we had this thread already. no one cares about your tbhlbtq mates and lads bow down to the superior culture, faggot. and no i dont mean cigaratte.

*turn

> When americans learn mexican

>mates and lads
>American superior culture
Ironic

your only hope of relevance is remaining in the united states of europe. once you are independent, you are lost.

it's actually hououounououur

t.french

once shitholes like you and turkey join the EU is lost

no, centre makes sense, as it shows that the word derives from latin.

the same way doubt has a "b", but was never pronounced with a "b", to show that it came from the original words "double minded"

The English alphabet is retarded anyways. "A" is a damn "Ei", "E" is "I" etc

no you retard, "a" is "a", "e" is "e" etc.

dumbass brit
your time is over

discord.gg/013cBhLI5fNbEGwqW

Spam them please

No, you retard
A = euh or ah!
E = é, è or even ê
I = Aï
U = you

fucking hell must I literally spell it out for you

vocaroo.com/i/s10R6PhCWO1E

It's all because of the Great Vowel Shift that occurred between the 14th and 16th centuries. In Middle English, "a" was pronounced as "ah", "e" was pronounced "eh"., "i" was pronounced "eeee" etc.

fucking celtic cuck

>A is " Ei" "Euh" or "Ah"
>E is "I"

The fuck are you people smoking?

Get used to it sunshine

the sun sets on you these days

h = eitch
who thought of this

Not his fault it phonetically sounds retarded in your accent

In almost all languages that use the Latin alphabet, the vowel "a, e, i, o, u" have their pure, continental values, like in Spanish or Italian. It's only English that had to fuck it all up with the Great Vowel Shift and the Brits were too lazy to reform English spelling after that happened, so now English spelling is a fucking mess.

>h=eitch

So Austrian it hurts h= aych

It's really not that complicated.

It should be just fucking "hah". You don't even pronounce the fucking sound when saying the letter. You just took the French "hache" and corrupted it.

>centre is retarded though
Fucking agreed m8. Sometimes I get a bit devilish and spell it center because I'm secretly a republican.

>Corrupted

You mean improved

we do the a = ah, b = bh, c = suh, d = duh, f = fuh etc. but we only do that shit for children when they're learning the alphabet before we move them on to the big boy alphabet

but other than the alphabet it has no impact on our language

I also hate that pronounce battery. BAT REEEEEEEEEE

why are canadian so classy and educated, while ameritards are dumb niggers?

How the fuck do you even learn how to read and write? English spelling is so irregular that it must be a nightmare for children who are just learning how to read.

that they*

stoned af my senpaitachi
I can see how something retarded could seem elegant to an Italian.

>britain's face when literally no one else calls it 'the apples and pears' instead of just 'stairs'

Greatest ally. I ask myself this every day.

Go to Uncle Ned m8 while I grab your mums Bristol cities

Why did you think every other american messes up their and they're?

shut the fuck up "eau = o" frog

it's literally just the south weighing us down

>romance language with Þ sound
GET OUT

English is not a Romance language, faggot. The "th" sound is an ancient phoneme that already existed in Proto-Germanic and while it was lost in most Germanic languages, it was preserved in English, probably because of the geographical isolation of the British Isles. Icelandic also still has it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galician_phonology#Consonants

I think he was referring to Spanish "s"

I always mix everything up. sometimes I write color, sometimes colour etc. Seriously, who the fuck cares?

You mean Spanish c/z.
Don't fucking trigger me like this.

It's not the "s". It's "z" and "c".

>when an American uses British spellings

It's just a coincidence that the same phoneme also exists in Galician and Castilian Spanish. It developed independently from Germanic languages.

>tfw Tuscan has it
>tfw Tuscan is the language of Dante, Petrarca and Boccaccio
>tfw Standard Italian is based on Tuscan

you should be happy I deem that scrap of your culture that isn't garbage worthy to incorporate into my vernacular

"eau" is always pronounced "o", no exceptions.

But the English "ough"... no one fucking knows.

It's still fucking retarded that you use three different vowels to represent a sound that could be represented by a simple "o".

"haut", "aux" and "eau" are all pronounced as "o". The French sure like unnecessary letters. You only pronounce half of the fucking word.

"bordeaux" = "bordo".

hue'd at your accent, tbhf

>when an English speaker tries to pronounce Slovene names
I was sitting in front of two Anglo tourists on the bus today. The amount of names they butchered was higher than the death toll in colonial India.

To be fair, Slavic languages don't use any fucking vowels.

Bztrv krtzc hrnrl brb smrt

it's not like we spend years studying Slovenian

>When a non-native english speaker tries to speak RP english

>what is schwa sound
At least write actual words, you nincompoop. Like krt, vrt, rt, brk, cntntn. Don't get me started on dialect pronunciations.

>oh look, we're in LYOOBLEEYANA
You're supposed to do your research before going into tourism.

Those people always try too hard.

but why do you need 3 fucking vowels for a sound a single vowel can do

>tfw we were taught british english at school
>as I started to use the internet I got used to use american english
I'm so sorry, I'm really trying to use british english again.
My trouser is very comfortable, might have some chips tommorow btw

Before an emergency joint session of Congress yesterday, President Clinton announced US plans to deploy over 75,000 vowels to the war-torn region of Bosnia. The deployment, the largest of its kind in American history, will provide the region with the critically needed letters A,E,I,O and U, and is hoped to render countless Bosnian names more pronounceable.
