jasignhagj Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I hate American spellings of words. It's centre, colour, armour, night, etc. Even worse is when Firefox tries to tell you you're spelling it wrong. Is there a way to change dictionaries? Short of just adding each proper spelling to the custom dictionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short of just adding each proper spelling to the custom dictionary.Those words have unnecessary letters in them that don't even affect the way the word is pronounced. Why spell colour when color gives you the exact same word, pronounced the exact same way, but spelled without any extra letters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2PM Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Uhhh night?As in people go to bed in the night? I don't get where you're going with that word, seeing how we spell it the same.

Alg Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Colour Col-ur. Makes more sense to have that U in.For the rest of them, the sound you get is more or less the same. CentER versus CentRE, ArmOR versus ArmOUR... Depending on how you pronounce "Colo(u)r", it could be the same as well (-ur or -er). Fortunately, people from both countries can understand the other.

Crocefisso Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 English phoenetics are broken; the language is a hybrid of Germanic languages and French that has the most absued phoenetic rules of any language I've come across. The spellings of words such as "centre" is down to Francophone influence. Though "center" is more correct, the Americanised changes were thought up largely by one guy (the name evades me), who changed them for pretty pretentious reasons. "Colour" is a superior and more sensible spelling than "colour".

Range_This11 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 This was on my Facebook today and it annoys the hell out of me. Does she really think that Jesus is going to intervene on a case by case basis to stop the natural atmospheric flow that generates weather patterns? Most of those hidden comments are "I'm praying too!!!!". So annoying.

Guest Rob Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 A girl who I have on Facebook had her status as "Omg, kicked out AGAIN! D:" She and her friends comment on it, blasting her mom for kicking her out. Then her mom comments on it, saying "I didn't kick you out, you got pissed off and stormed out cause I wouldn't buy you alcohol". They go on arguing for a bit on Facebook, where it can be seen by anyone (they're both using terrible grammar, by the way). Eventually, she deletes the status. About three hours later, her Facebook status is "Watching Jersey shore with the momma!" :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
