>when a non-native english speaker uses american spellings of words
Because schools teach American English here.
>>60451093
>english speaker
Sorry, I speak American.
>>60451093
American English > British English
>>60451093
it's probably because they have American spell check installed.

American English is inherntly the more efficient version.
So it would make sense that foreigners would gravitate towards it

Sorry but LA/NYC have replaced London as the HNIC of the English language.
Even The Economist agrees - The world long ago stopped speaking English, the world speaks American.
More specifically the world speaks Los Angeles and Manhattan.
>br*tish english
>>60451093
American spelling is the poor mans spelling. Nobody takes anyone who spells it "color" seriously.
>>60451093
I always use the English spelling, my greatest friend.
Sry but I speak American...
>>60452093
D-DELET THIS!!!
>>60451093
I am also gravely disgusted by this.
Britannia, why did all your children grow up to be so retarded?
They have no hounour.
>>60454858

Who the fuck learns American English? Everything is BE here
>>60452093
I think colour is the cooler spelling. I was always told there was two spellings.
>>60455172

honour, armour, and colour all look better imo
centre is retarded though

>>60452017
stay strong
>>60451943
why you hatin on my nigga
>>60455314
I think pretty much all European schools teach British English on paper. But the media and internet turns that into American English.

>>60455246
no, centre makes sense, as it shows that the word derives from latin.
the same way doubt has a "b", but was never pronounced with a "b", to show that it came from the original words "double minded"
The English alphabet is retarded anyways. "A" is a damn "Ei", "E" is "I" etc
>>60456068
no you retard, "a" is "a", "e" is "e" etc.
>>60456147

No, you retard

U = you

>>60456185
fucking hell must I literally spell it out for you
http://vocaroo.com/i/s10R6PhCWO1E
>>60456068
It's all because of the Great Vowel Shift that occurred between the 14th and 16th centuries. In Middle English, "a" was pronounced as "ah", "e" was pronounced "eh"., "i" was pronounced "eeee" etc.

Get used to it sunshine

h = eitch
who thought of this
>>60456572
Not his fault it phonetically sounds retarded in your accent
>>60456642
In almost all languages that use the Latin alphabet, the vowel "a, e, i, o, u" have their pure, continental values, like in Spanish or Italian. It's only English that had to fuck it all up with the Great Vowel Shift and the Brits were too lazy to reform English spelling after that happened, so now English spelling is a fucking mess.
>>60456721
>h=eitch
So Austrian it hurts h= aych
>>60456752
It's really not that complicated.
>>60456788
It should be just fucking "hah". You don't even pronounce the fucking sound when saying the letter. You just took the French "hache" and corrupted it.
>>60455246
>centre is retarded though
Fucking agreed m8. Sometimes I get a bit devilish and spell it center because I'm secretly a republican.
>>60456874
>Corrupted
You mean improved
>>60456721
>>60456752
we do the a = ah, b = bh, c = suh, d = duh, f = fuh etc. but we only do that shit for children when they're learning the alphabet before we move them on to the big boy alphabet
but other than the alphabet it has no impact on our language
>>60455246
I also hate that pronounce battery. BAT REEEEEEEEEE
>>60452093
why are canadian so classy and educated, while ameritards are dumb niggers?
>>60456935
How the fuck do you even learn how to read and write? English spelling is so irregular that it must be a nightmare for children who are just learning how to read.

>>60457456
>romance language with Þ sound
GET OUT
>>60457564
English is not a Romance language, faggot. The "th" sound is an ancient phoneme that already existed in Proto-Germanic and while it was lost in most Germanic languages, it was preserved in English, probably because of the geographical isolation of the British Isles. Icelandic also still has it.

>>60457657
I think he was referring to Spanish "s"
>>60451093
I always mix everything up. sometimes I write color, sometimes colour etc. Seriously, who the fuck cares?
>>60457768
You mean Spanish c/z.
Don't fucking trigger me like this.
>>60457768
It's not the "s". It's "z" and "c".
>>60451093
>when an American uses British spellings
>>60457745
It's just a coincidence that the same phoneme also exists in Galician and Castilian Spanish. It developed independently from Germanic languages.
>>60457564
>tfw Tuscan has it
>tfw Tuscan is the language of Dante, Petrarca and Boccaccio
>tfw Standard Italian is based on Tuscan
>>60457839
you should be happy I deem that scrap of your culture that isn't garbage worthy to incorporate into my vernacular
>>60457456
"eau" is always pronounced "o", no exceptions.
But the English "ough"... no one fucking knows.
>>60458017
It's still fucking retarded that you use three different vowels to represent a sound that could be represented by a simple "o".
"haut", "aux" and "eau" are all pronounced as "o". The French sure like unnecessary letters. You only pronounce half of the fucking word.
"bordeaux" = "bordo".
>>60456436
hue'd at your accent, tbhf
>when an English speaker tries to pronounce Slovene names
I was sitting in front of two Anglo tourists on the bus today. The amount of names they butchered was higher than the death toll in colonial India.
>>60458493
To be fair, Slavic languages don't use any fucking vowels.

>When a non-native english speaker tries to speak RP english

At least write actual words, you nincompoop. Like krt, vrt, rt, brk, cntntn. Don't get me started on dialect pronunciations.
>>60458571

You're supposed to do your research before going into tourism.
>>60458580
Those people always try too hard.
>>60458017
but why do you need 3 fucking vowels for a sound a single vowel can do
>tfw we were taught british english at school
>as I started to use the internet I got used to use american english
I'm so sorry, I'm really trying to use british english again.

http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~beatrice/humor/clinton-deploys-vowels.html
Before an emergency joint session of Congress yesterday, President Clinton announced US plans to deploy over 75,000 vowels to the war-torn region of Bosnia. The deployment, the largest of its kind in American history, will provide the region with the critically needed letters A,E,I,O and U, and is hoped to render countless Bosnian names more pronounceable.
>>60458934
Nothing will help with the pronunciation of those Turkish names they have.

Love you leaf
>>60455246
center is used here at least as much
>>60451093
colour looks shitty
i prefer recognize to recognise
btw why dont most birts on /int/ use "rubbish"?
why dont you use it. i rarely see those using it. is it because you feel somewhat awkward?
>>60461581
I use rubbish rather than garbage. Maybe its because many Brits on the internet are Americanised, I don't know any Brits in real life that say garbage.
>>60460756
If someone writes center rather than centre I know they are an internet addict instantly, there is no reason to write it like that unless you frequent reddit/4chan in the UK.
>>60451282
Don't, worry, japan-kun, this thread is not about you. You guys have your own spelling of english words.
>>60461769
thats sad. i frequently saw "rubbish" years ago when i went to a site where main users are brits.
there even americans were trying to use rubbish.
word is literally word of mouth. if plenty of brits use "rubbish" here others also will start to use it.
cunt is still pretty much useful as a cuss word though. i prefer cunt to pussy as it. whilst sounds cooler than while regardless of the fact its formal or not.
>>60461769
>gaaawbeeege
This thread is depressing as fuck
>>60462519
Why is that sad? Rubbish is a better word than garbage :)

Thanks finbro. I think the North American dialect is far easier to understand.
>>60463435
but honestly, who cares about an additional u letter?
>as if color and colour are sooooo different,
oh, yeah, and Firefox just underlined the British spelling as incorrect-ultimate proof that American is superior to Britbong spelling

I never say garbage. Ever. Saying something is rubbish is more of a tonned down polite way of saying something's shite, I'd only use it public tbf or when talking about actual rubbish, people that casually swear in public disgust me desu.
>>60463609
Mine corrects color to colour. Just be in your language settings on your PC mate.
>>60464053
I know, but still, I haven't changed my PC settings since I bought my PC 1 year ago. So obviously non English PCs just, by default, use American spelling
also

>>60464205
Well when you install the OS, or setup a computer for the first time it'll ask you what language you want, there would have been two options for English.
>didn't know that the Stonehenge is capable of an internet connection
Was that a joke? because if so, it's German tier.
