Do you prefer British or American spelling?

[Erienne]

Do you use "favour" or "favor"? "Color" or "Colour"? "Yoghurt" or "Yogurt"? I'm sorry, I am bored right now. I use British spelling usually, because the English language is technically from England, and their English technically would be the correct English.

im american so i use american spelling

 

[mangaeyes]

I'm British so I use British spelling. America seems to have taken all complicated or different words and change them so that they are spelled EXACTLY how they're said. I just don't think thats necessary.

canadian/british. i probably use it because i'm canadian.

 

[Magmar Master]

British!

It's the english language, so spell like we do in England.

 

[mangaeyes]

I remember I was playing a game and you had to select a language and for the English language they had an American flag!!!

You must be bored if your making such a stupid thread.

You must be bored if you're making such a stupid post.

American because I'm ignorant

 

[Kaasuti]

American english is just a simplised version of the real language, i mean come on why would you pronounce aluminium as Alu min num? Daft if you ask me.

I use english

I prefer the British spellings, as it makes more sense to me for whatever reasons. But I use the American way of spelling simply because it's a habit (i.e. English teachers insist on using the American spellings and dock points otherwise -- despite the fact that it's still correct).

 

[7eeveelutions]

I prefer American, but I don't mind it when people use British spelling. I use American spelling myself.

 

[ForeverFlame]

I use a mix. I mainly use American, but since I'm from Canada I do use British spelling for some words that make no sense in America.

Like catalogue. I think it looks better with the "ue" at the end. There are a few more examples, but I'm too lazy to go on wiki to dig them up.

 

[GrizzlyB]

Since I'm American, I spell things the American way, because I don't want to seem pretentious.

 

[Zonn13]

Well, I admit I prefer British spelling, as it makes more sense, but I still use American.

 

[RDSchley]

Sense im american naturally i would pick the American version.

Although, niether make sense unlike what Zonn13 said.

Knife..
Scissors..
Pneumonia (see, cant even spell it right... riGHt?)

sownd?
nife
sissers

wite

Who cares?

Who cares?

Lol.

Are you gonna post that on every other poll like "Whats your favourite fast-food", "Where are you originally from" or "What colour are your eyes".

Its a poll. Vote or don't.

 

[InfernoTheStrang]

Sometimes the British spellings of words look better than American spellings. I prefer the American spellings, though.

 

[TurtwigFan1]

I use British spellings because I am British. What annoys me with Americanization is aluminum. It's aluminium. What is the purpose of removing the 'i'?

 

[mangaeyes]

Yeah and they seem to dumb down words so that they're spelled exactly how they're said.

No offence though.
