First thing you do is shut off Wourd's spelling checker.Originally posted by Victor Galis
Well... as far as I can tell identical to the British spellings, though Word gives it as a separate option. Not really sure how big of an issue this is. I have to get used to adding a 'u' to words that previously didn't have it, and some words I think there's something with 'c' and 's.'
Then you write as if you were in Loundon. You'll be fine.

I agree with Slow wxcept I would substitute Hull with Chigago.Originally posted by SlowwHand
All this is about is regionalism. Big deal. What's English? London speaks differently than Newcastle.
Dallas speaks differently than New York.
What's the point? It's all English. Except for Chicago.
Just ask someone form Hull to say Coca-ColaSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

The English and it seems also the Canadians are intelligent enough to be able to handle the original spellings. They didn't have to adopt a revised spelling model to make it easier for their stupid citizens to understand.Originally posted by Drake Tungsten

Article 343: "The official language of the Union shall be Hindi in the Devangari script."Originally posted by LordShiva
There is a difference between national language and official language.
The "expiring in 15 years" reference is cute, and shows you've clicked beyond just the first link from a Google search. The context is as follows: When the republic was constituted in 1950, English was made the pricipal official language. After 1965, Hindi was to become the principal official language, with English designated a "subsidiary official language."
- enough said. It's right there in black and white.
"Notwithstandinganything in this article the Parliament may provide for the use after the said period of fifeteen of -
(a) the English language, or....................."
The English language may be used by the government if duly legislated, but it is still not the official language."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment
