This may come as a shock to you but 'british' spellings are infact considered true. As in an old (well not very old) story says that an american who wrote the US's first dictuonary couldn't wright well , and so we like to write it in its 'prioper' version, aswell as most Canadians, Australians and basical;y any country (exept US) who counts English as their main language.

Ok... I am not seeing the point... sorry.--H*bad 22:11, 12 March 2007 (UTC) soz. Just pinting it out. incase any of the 'stupider' 1s thaught US english was the true 1. its true Its been on live shows and it wasn't comedy! it always involves the american saying to the crowd to speak english yet their all shouting hm to get off the stage. Well, the Americans broke away from the British, so I wouldn't think anyone would think that American English is the "true one." Anyway, languages change over time. It should be no surprise that when two groups of English-speakers are seperated for centuries, their language ends up different enough to cause confusion. Just because the words were spelled differently by dictionary-writer Webster (in order to establish a distance from Britain, according to Wikipedia), that shouldn't have any baring on spoken English on stage shows. Besides, English is a really messed up language whatever variant you use, with exceptions upon exceptions to its rules. --Dragonclaws(talk) 01:05, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
