American-English is fucking retarded.
What's wrong with the Queens English?
Why did you faggots feel the need to change the spelling of words?

Fuck, you can't even say words right and we're still fixing that problem

Lieutenant Colonel is half as fucked in American English.

"buddy" or "bud" is so much gayer.
I'm not talking about slang though.
I'm talking about regular words.. "mom" makes me rage
>>
The u in colour is retarded and redundant. The word is perfectly pronounceable without it. Also, coming off a recent thread

>head boy

It's called a fucking valedictorian. You use appropriate language when referring to your best. 'Head boy' sounds like a goddamn porn term.

>Why did you faggots feel the need to change the spelling of words?

People kept mispelling stuff so they changed the dictionary to accommodate them, instead of correcting the retards.

Just like "alot" will be added to the dictionary because people keep using it even though it's wrong.
>>
>>71994058

I am irritated by how you say "Aluminium"

And you pronounce "Herb" like "Herb" not "'Erb" because it has a fucking H on it.

And it's "Zee" not "Zed" - What are you, French?
>>
>>71994512
No, I'm saying aluminum is the correct way to spell aluminium.

Why would you say aluminium? It isn't even a word.

I realize this is a shitpost, but australians change the most shit in english, FAR MORE than any other country does.

Half the shit you cunts say doesn't make any sense to the rest of us and we're stuck trying to use the context to piece together wtf you meant.
>>
>>71994728
Everybody except Amerifats understand what we're saying.

I'm talking about the spelling of words.
what words have Australians changed in the English language?

Because we do we want. You have a problem?

Um, no.

German -> aluminium

>>71994821

Who gives a fuck about spelling? You lot waste time adding excess "u's" everywhere, while Americans decucked the language.

>what words have Australians changed in the English language?

Tons of them, don't play stupid Bruce.

It's the official name for it.
There was some faffle when the scientific community was coming up with a name for it and England made up it's own one.

One of the first niggers to try and isolate aluminum called it aluminum. when he published his findings some other faggot decided it should be called aluminium because it sounded cooler.
>>
>>71995073
>country
I'm confused, are you asserting that Cajun English isn't English from a country?

There isn't a unifying American dialect, it's all regional. Same goes for most languages in most countries.
>>
>>71994058
They didnt change it. Languages evolve on their own when you have 2 groups of people geographically apart.
Some words drop letters necause of accent and eventually it get spreaded widely enough that the body that keeps the language in check allows for thenchange on the paper

Its a made-up language brought on by your low-tier public schooling system to falsify class in peasants, thus relating a pronounced, distant diction in garbage people, making it garbage.
>>
>>71994058
Brits + derivatives: accept the gentle rationalization of spelling performed by Noah Webster. 'colour', 'metre', indeed. The effeminate French have gone - cast off their mental chains and rise, men of the Anglosphere!

How the hell are we the autists here since you're the one who got all pissy over a simple spelling change in a word?

How do you not realize that geographical isolation will change the way people speak languages? Grow the fuck up.

spelling changes that weren't needed

Reminder that English is Germanic in origin. :))

English is a cobbled together version of several filtered languages from all over Europe. Stop trying to make a pissing contest out of it, brats.

BAN ASSAULT SPELLING

>>71994058
It was the other way around. American colonists retained the speech of the common man due to being a continent away when British talking began to shift. At the time it became in vogue for the peasantry of Britain to mimic the stylized "high speech" used at court by the nobility, and this fad never jumped the Atlantic.
>>
I refer to others as "boss" or "brother."

Is that bad?
>>
>>71995816
This.

We're too concerned with spelling and grammar nowadays. Language evolves because of these "errors". You know how Shakespeare basically invented huge chunks of the English language? Thats precisely because the language at the time wasn't standardised.

While I do dislike misspellings and the like, I understand that they play a role in the evolution of language, just as the existence of different dialects does.

Eh, I refer to people as "chief" pretty often.

Get fucked aussie bitch, the queen can rot in hell for all I care. Fuck the monarchy
>>
Isn't British English just a cucked form of the language? I remember someone saying the reason for all the extra "u" in words like labor and favor are because there was such admiration of the French at the time it was standardized that they tried to make it more like French by adding stuff like that.
>>
>>71994058
the same reason we pronounce some words differently than you boot lickers.

so we know who is a dirty little fancy lad serving the queen and who is a red blooded american who would shoot the queen in the face for the glory of america
