Given the option, do you used traditional English (UK/British), or simplified English (American)?
lol is that real?
>>320170274
English (UK) because I live there and prefer my words spelled the English way. Colour looks nice than color anyway.

American english is technically more accurate to the old english and is therefore more traditional than modern bongland english.
>the english are so fucking stupid they can't read/spell words without using superfluous vowels
languages evolve. the english weren't speaking the same english they were speaking 500 years ago.

why is that alright?

Webster basically aimed to redefine the English language but in the end just removed a bunch of U's and totally half assed the whole thing. The Oxford English Dictionary is still the go-to source on words in the English language.

French loan words, the french language is the worst when it comes to useless letters
I use British English because it's usually the closest thing to Canadian English in terms of spelling and we're not important enough to get our own setting.
>>320172882
While this is true to an extent, taking out the u's out of words like colour is a recent thing.
>>320170274
UK English, because I'm British.
>>320173014
If the "u" isn't needed in colour, why do you not pronounce the first "o" the same as the second one?
>>320172882

No, it isn't. This meme needs to stop.

UK English, because the American keyboard layout is retarded.

>>320173917
Fuck off, Manuel.
What do non-native English speakers use? That's a better question. Obviously bongs are gonna use traditional, because that's what they're taught, and vice versa for Americans. What would a German or Frenchie use when learning how to write in English?

British English because then I'll get a translation and not a localisation.
>>320174558
Probably, but its more because almost all the english media I consume comes from the US and barely nothing comes from the UK so it just makes sense.
>>320174314
That looks wrong. Looking at that is actually annoying me a little bit. To me it just looks like a really dumb spelling error.

The only thing the UK layout does right is the big enter key, and there's still plenty of US keyboards that have them.
>>320174101
I think it depends which one has influenced you more, as a europoor I've always seen the Brit variation whilst studying at school.
>thru
Explain this, Amerikeks
>>320174101
What kind of keyboard setup? I mean.. Just because some letters are switched around doesn't make learning English difficult. Besides, the important stuff is still the same.

>>320174101
I'm from the Netherlands and we use the American setup here. The Germans have their own weird keyboard that has the 'Y' and 'Z' switched around. Also they have that weird B fit in there.
>>320174795
>" in the top row instead of with the rest of the punctuation marks
It's right next to the ! as it's less commonly used punctuation.
>@ with the punctuation marks instead of with the symbols in the top row
Along with all the other barely used shit symbols like ~ { }
>\ and | next to l.shift for no fucking reason
It's rarely if ever used, hence why it's next to Z and X
>>320175086
where the question marks at
>>320175315
Nordics don't ask questions. They just know.

Only the accent is closer, the accents split during the 19th century. the spelling isn't though.
>>320174101
whichever is the default, believe it or not there's not that big of a difference. We're taught british english but we're exposed to american english so much that we often write / talk a mix of the two anyway
>>320175243
Its a potential superpower, it has the manpower and raw materials to achieve it
It wont because they have a shit culture and the US wouldnt allow it.
The point is Portugal is just Spain´s weird cousin nobody knows it even exists.

In what fucking Universe? Certainly not this one. It's biggest resource and export (I would imagine) is timber, and you can grow trees fucking ANYWHERE. Where's the oil? Where's the minerals?
>>320173982
Back when everything was done through command prompts, the @, #, \, |, and ~ symbols were more important.
I'm Canadian, I use British English I find it usually looks better than American English (catologue versus catalog, realise versus realize) but we were forced to use British spellings and pronunciations when I was in school. Now everyone thinks I'm trying to act British when I say maths
>>320175913
Maths is definitely more accurate than Math though. It's plural and refers to a whole array of mathematics,which is right. Math makes it sound like one specific thing.
>>320175669
Yeah but I was talking about the Nordic layout, not sure what yours is
>>320175605

Portugal has like double the GDP per capita, and Brazil is a corrupted crime ridden shithole.

Are you retarded or just deaf? The first "o" sound is different from the last "o/ou" sound in "colour".

Historically Portugal is more relevant. Brazil might have a brighter future if they can fix their shit up.

I've lived in both America and England and tend to use the British layout, even on American keyboards. I know which keys go where so it's not like that's an issue.
>>320174101
From what I've heard, some schools teach British English and some schools teach American English.
>>320176182
Colour/color, favourite/favorite, armour/armor, labour/labor, etc are all pronounced the same way. There isn't a single difference between them. There's really nothing stopping you from listening to some clips of British people talking so you can find out yourself.
>>320175913
are you eastern canadian? alberta here, we say math just like murricans
>>320170274
From my experience, most applications that support British, actually have no difference and they don't spell the words correctly. It's just a cop-out.
>>320177739
Ontario, the whole country uses math I'm pretty sure but I went to a school where literally every teacher was British and we lost marks if we used American spellings. It's what I'm used to

Some games (mostly nintendo ones) end up with two completely different French translations for NA and Europe.
Otherwise the biggest difference is that Canadian French uses a few slightly different words like "courriel" instead of the metropolitan French "e-mail"
>>320175086
>skinny tall enter key
Absolute cancer.
The most common french keyboard can't even type common words like œuf (egg).
>>320179258
And if you look it up, Americans coined the word so there's no excuse.
>>320181849
Wow I want to start trolling people by switching out their keyboard with a French one
