Brits, does spellcheck tell you to spell Englishly?

[Zarkes]

Like if you type colour does it say color?

Did you know?: Alot of Brits give us 'muricans crud because our pints are smaller, but we still call them pints. Actually, Brits use an Imperial pint from the 1800's, pints in America are based off the 1700's standard. And infact, the actual international name for Football is called HandCancer.

Are you high right now?

 

[HobbeBrain]

At "HandCancer" I sort of began to question Zarkes sanity

 

[queenofdisco]

To anwser your actual question, no spellcheck does not recommend English spelling it gives us the american version, which sucks major balls and in fact I want to smack bill gates in the face with a keyboard for this simple fact as I now have no idea if I'm writing English English or..... American 'English'

As to your other er. Handcancer? You lost me.

Just being dumb, but to explain I had just got out of a 200 post debate on Halo 4, and was exasperated.

Because you can't use your hands!

I was just angry with spellcheck, I'm American but I say colour, so I was wondering how you guys felt.


As for my sanity I haven't spake with anyone on here for weeks, wanted to stir things up a bit. I can't believe you guys forgot how I used to type on here!

Is American even a language? Aside from the painful spelling atrocities and occasional lack of connectives in sentences, it's still English, right?

It's English. People have been complaining about its destruction for centuries. It's the hardest language to learn, and the most spoken.

 

[Dark Drakan]

I have to constantly make sure my spellcheck is switched to UK as it constantly tells me the American spellings of most things.

 

[TRA Rotid]

I only write Estonian English.

 

[Zarkes]

I only write Estonian English.

I used to know quite a bit of Spanglish when I was in middle school but have since forgotten.

Jussssst pointing out that American English is easy as **** to learn because only douchebags enforce the rules.

For most Americans, "American" English consists of "okay, eliminate excessive 'u's and 'e's when ya spell and vaguely pronunciate the words right and make sure we know who's talking bout who grammatically, and we're cool, capisce?"

Hey atleast we ain't all Russell Brand about it.

I find myself being mesmerized when he starts talking then realize that I only understand about 60% of what he says.

For me, that begins at "Like".

 

[Warpedhero]

All I know is, Spellcheck always renders 'dialogue' into 'dialog', which I hate. It just doesn't look right. I think that spelling is actually remnant of Roosevelt's Simplified Spelling movement.

 

[Walker]

Dialog! Epilog! Prolog!

 

[Tsuyu]

Mine annoyingly doesn't use British English. It keeps judging me whenever I write "colour".

:C

 

[Angel]

That's not all it's judging you on...:steve:

 

[Tsuyu]

It knew what it was in for when it agreed to become my Internet browser.

There's no going back now.

 

[Tyloric]

We speak the American dialect of English, where as the English speak King's English.
