SS

America would just use it's utter dominance to get us to change our own language, nope. Not happening.

So you are ok with the Burgers saying aluminum?

Dialects and uniwue words dont get killed, people just try to unify big stuff.

Its also confusing as fuck since I started with the old spelling and had to relearn the new one also we still use dass after a ,.

>colour
>color

a lowly motivated B
>Buuhh

>implying we could change what the US does

hahahahahahah That'd have us pronouncing Z as Zee and spelling Colour as Color

ſ+ʒ or ſ+s = ß

Of course it's not. Since the orthographic reforms in the 1990s ß is used less than before in favor of ss btw.

I think the Meme about us english being closer to old british english than the uk is more annoying.

If at all, american english sounds more german pronounciation wise than anything else.

Reminder german americans are THE second most important ethnic group in the US and an example hoe people should assimilate.

I grew up in the UK and Canada for my first few years, so I started to learn to read in British English. I still use words like color and colour somewhat interchangeably

The U being left out in words always triggers me, it just looks... Uglier? I wouldn't mind changing words like Centre to Center though because I like the way it looks more.

People say that about accents, not spelling. Our spelling was done deliberately as an attempt to simplify perceived inconsistencies in the English language by Noah Webster iirc

I genuinely didn't know there was a difference until I started coming to Sup Forums
