Okay lad.

Was taught so in school

colour

Wtf i love Slovakia?? Now

What's wrong with spelling it the correct way?

No offence lad, but uk's spelling is the norm in pretty much every other english speaking country, apart from America obviously
It also has much more meme properties

-our is more correct than -or.

This.

We defeated you and took over the world, so I'd say we're the correct English.

English spelling has some French charm.

This too. But we are cucks so we quickly go for the american way.

This. The reason we learn English is not because of the UK (pretty much a union of non countries) but because of the US.

...

But using the -ou- is so fancy

>non-Anglophone flag
>uses English

Let's be honest here; they let us win.

lol those silly surrender monkeys

This.
Also british looks and sounds better.

even if that we're true the only thing you do it drop a -u here and there and swap the -re to -er (we do that a lot too these days).
yet the commonwealth use English and so does the UN specifically use our spelling

You lost the last war with the UK though

/brit/ is that way, faggot

We came to an agreement both times.
In the American Revolution it was because we sparked a second war against France and the UK didn't want to keep spending resources on us, plus it was the popular consensus amongst the British people that the colonies should be free, hence our """victory""" when Cornwallis surrendered.

As for the war of 1812, I have no clue why on earth they let us get away with that one.

We are taught the proper English in school. The American dialect can go and lick an arse.

>As for the war of 1812, I have no clue why on earth they let us get away with that one.

Maybe it had something to do with being in the middle of the Napoleonic Wars?

>Tfw if it wasn't for Napoleon we could've regained the colonies

I suppose. But remember that the Empire had already taken our capital and severely weakened our military.

the eternal frog

>start game
>choose language
>English (American Flag next to it)

To be fair the Americans have it right regarding -er instead of -re. Spelling it -re is fucking retarded and makes no sense.

It's time to go home, Dong Lang.

Get fucked fag. My grandparents are English.

Fuck off

I see 0 (zero) difference between them. No idea why Brits can get so riled up about the other spelling system.

I'd play the fuck out of that game

It is default, taught in shools. You get lower grades for American English.

Have seen NZ flag on Mega.

languages take a while to develop, america's had a few hundred years on it's own, Australia will eventually be a hybrid between the two I assume
But in today's world who really knows, maybe languages don't diverge as much any more

Bait. Spoke AE thru HS and uni, had straight As.

You spoke Albanian English?

But that is what civiliSed people do.

American, at least not Arabic as you learn in your school, Mohammed.

True for both of my schools and the uni. They smash your face for American accent and spelling on foreign language faculties too.

Calm your tits Andrei

1) Schools in most non-english countries consider BrE preferable (in tests, for example). Sometimes standard BrE is the only dialect being studied.
2) BrE spelling is not just British, it's Commonwealth spelling

I don't know how anyone can speak British English, American English sounds much more natural and exactly how you're supposed to speak. When Brits speak they sound like they have downs, it's hilarious.

>centre

always hated this

Doesn't matter what's taught in schools, britcucks have nothing while American media dominates the world.

my english is about pc gaems
reinforcemets has arrived
red alert

I don't know why but every "-re", that is spelled "-er" in AmE infuriates the shit out of me.
E.g. "centre", "metre".

"The English language belongs to all of its native speakers. Also, General American English is phonologically, grammatically, and lexically closer to the English of the seventeenth century than Received Pronunciation and most dialects in the United Kingdom. Does this mean that British English is worse? No, but it means that you cannot think American English is some butchered version of 'correct English.' There is no 'correct English,' and if your argument is purely based on which is closer to the original, then General American English wins anyway.

(Clarification: American and British English have both changed since Early Modern English, just in different ways. Overall though, American English is linguistically more conservative. You could make an argument for either way, but if you add up all of the features that both varieties have changed or kept, by most standards American English is more conservative.)

In the end though, everyone should be proud of the their native language, and there is no 'correct' or 'incorrect' usage of language. If any of you disagree with me on this point, I encourage you to study even rudimentary linguistics."

>General American English is phonologically, grammatically, and lexically closer to the English of the seventeenth century than Received Pronunciation and most dialects in the United Kingdom

unit lost :D

I think you guys are missing the REAL difference between British and American English. In British English, "meter" and "metre" have different meanings.

"metre" = the s.i. unit of measurement, i.e. "5 metres long"

"meter" = something that measures, i.e. "I checked the reading on the gas meter"

Americans don't make the distinction. They use "meter" for both meanings.

It's a similar case for many other words, like check/cheque. The Americans use a simplified version of the language, with fewer words in their vocabulary.

>colour
>centre
Retarded illogical bullshit. Thank God the USA dominates IT and anyone who needs to use any kind of markup or styling will have to use color and center to position and style the elements.

I wonder how mad Britfag programmers/designers get when they have to use American words in their line of work.

Nah that's actually true.

euros may use british spelling, but I doubt their accents are closer to british than to american. the british accent is too hard to mimic (at least for me) and you get more exposition to the american one through media.

It really is.

I do it just to trigger fags like you

LIES

>I wonder how mad Britfag programmers/designers get when they have to use American words in their line of work.

That reminds me of another one (I'm this poster)

"Program" and "programme". In American English, they only use "program" whereas in British English both words have different meanings.

You have "computer programs" and "television programmes"

The American version of the language is heavily simplified

>not using both interchangeably

pisses people off like nobody's business

>French influence
>Germanic language
"er" just makes more sense.
so does "o" instead of "ou".
In words like "colour", "ou" isn't a diphthong, so what's its purpose? Nix the u.

This

Man, I know this. But I still don't like "metre". It just looks too damn French.

English English is best.

That is how it is done in this country

Arse biscuits.

Tы мoнгoл?

I mean it really isn't that big a deal anyway, are you american? or just trying to stir butthurt?
I can't see brits (or any one who uses the spelling) breaking down when they have to use a slightly different spelling

>"er" just makes more sense.

I think it makes more sense to make the distinction between words that mean different things. A unit of measurement IS different from a device that measures

>But I still don't like "metre". It just looks too damn French.

Well the metric system did come from France. I like that the word itself can teach you about the history of what you're talking about. When we talk about metres we are using the système international d'unités

Pyccкий я, мoнгoлoв тyт вooбщe нe вcтpeтишь. A ecли и вcтpeтишь, тo oт кaзaхa нe oтличишь.

"American English" is retarded.

This.
It also lets you spot good people among the disgusting ameriboos.

It's a bit more primitive as says.

Stop teaching me what I already know, this is fucking middle school physics.
Well, ok, dialect of English in the case of ESL students is a matter of preference, and I prefer AmE for a lot of reasons, including my plans to move to the US. This discussion is pointless.

>if you use american english over british english you're an ameriboo

fuck off

i learned english from watching movies and television when i was a kid
i had pleb taste, thus i watched american shit

this meme needs to stop.

It is actually the same amount of words, we just so happen to spell 'metre' and 'meter' the same way. If we spelled 'bat' as in the animal and 'bat' as in the stick in different ways, we would still have the same amount of words.

It is entirely true. Explain to me how it is not? Do you think English speakers originally did not pronounce the R in all positions or something?

That's only possible in reading. Unless you want to return the language to its Germanic roots and actually pronounce every part of the word, there's no difference in conversation between "meter" and "metre".

Again, unless you start pronouncing it "me-tre" (with the e at the end pronounced like the e in "exit" or the German "wohnte")

I was explaining why I prefer that spelling of metre, don't get your knickers in a twist.

>It is actually the same amount of words, we just so happen to spell 'metre' and 'meter' the same way.

No... those are two different words. They sound the same when spoken but they are clearly different words with different meanings.

It is the standard you dipshit lol

I am agreeing with you. They are different words. We still have the same amount of words even if we spell them the same, that is why I used the 'bat' example. The 'bat' as in the animal and the 'bat' as in the stick are both spelled identically, yet they are two different words. If we started spelling the 'bat' as in the animal as 'batt,' and the stick was still spelled 'bat,' we would still have the same amount of words.

You are the ultimate cuck

I agree
