British spelling is the one we're taught at school

2019-01-17 14:59:28 UTC  

If it is so """"""incorrect""""" then how come the standard for English is General American

2019-01-17 14:59:41 UTC  

What standard? Where?

2019-01-17 14:59:58 UTC  

Every language has a standard accepted dialect

2019-01-17 15:00:00 UTC  

Ie

2019-01-17 15:00:16 UTC  

Korean has the Seoul dialect as standard

2019-01-17 15:00:27 UTC  

English has general American

2019-01-17 15:00:31 UTC  

American dialect may be the most neutral, but BBC english has the most prestige

2019-01-17 15:00:44 UTC  

What the fuck are you even talking about

2019-01-17 15:00:47 UTC  

Americans still haven't caught up

2019-01-17 15:00:56 UTC  

@laurefinwë don't be stupid

2019-01-17 15:01:34 UTC  

The most important variety of English in Europe is still British English
That's the reason why we learn British spelling and RP

2019-01-17 15:02:53 UTC  

Kek

2019-01-17 15:02:55 UTC  

Yeah, but listening to non english speakers pronounce things with a british accent is awful

2019-01-17 15:03:09 UTC  

American pronounciation is easier

2019-01-17 15:03:27 UTC  

Accent =/= pronunciation

2019-01-17 15:03:29 UTC  

>most important dialect comes from an island that is slipping into chaos and fading from the global scene

Nothing wrong with spelling things correctly

2019-01-17 15:04:08 UTC  

I don't even know why you're so mad about it

2019-01-17 15:04:16 UTC  

Yes

2019-01-17 15:04:21 UTC

2019-01-17 15:04:45 UTC  

And I still can't understand why Seppos keep thinking that their variety of English is somehow the "standard" one

2019-01-17 15:04:53 UTC  

Seppos?

2019-01-17 15:05:21 UTC  

My favourite synonym of yankee

2019-01-17 15:05:26 UTC  

I see

2019-01-17 15:05:34 UTC  

I'm pretty sure it was Aussies who have coined this term

2019-01-17 15:05:43 UTC  

I ain't no fucking yank

2019-01-17 15:05:54 UTC  

You talk like one

2019-01-17 15:06:10 UTC  

Y'all ain't ever heard my voice

2019-01-17 15:06:35 UTC  

Not what I meant

2019-01-17 15:07:04 UTC  

>get mad because someone is not using the American spelling rules
>not yank

2019-01-17 15:07:22 UTC  

Happened never, nowhere

2019-01-17 15:07:25 UTC
