              man, those britishers really have something stuck up their collective craws, mm?

              we'll just let them think they're spelling things correctly. it's pretty much all they have left, anyway, their "honor".

                yeah of course the Scandinavians didnt have Hollywood movies, BBC dramas on PBS, the Internet, etc. We've read each others novels and poetry for the last 2 hundred years, followed each others movies and tv since those media were born, theyve followed our pop songs since the 1920's, we've followed theirs since the 1960's. Today we read each others newspapers, and are intimately familiar with the slants of each others news networks. Increasingly we are even familiar with eachs others slang.

                There is zero, repeat zero chance of the written language ever moving apart . There is almost zero chance of the spoken language moving apart.

                Hope everyone take this in good humour. Dont fly off the handle. Eat your French Fries, whatever their color.

                  I demand that "colour" be added as a valid synonym of "color" to the W3C specs.

                    By they way, why do you guys pronounce "Theatre" "Theater"? Don't you know with the "-tre" it would be pronounced "Theatree"?

                      did you read about the kernel patch that changes every instance of "colour" to color?

                          BTW, "metre" as in "kilometre" is pronounced differently from "meter" as in "odometer".
