British spelling is the one we're taught at school
If it is so """"""incorrect""""" then how come the standard for English is General American
What standard? Where?
Every language has a standard accepted dialect
Ie
Korean has the Seoul dialect as standard
English has general American
American dialect may be the most neutral, but BBC english has the most prestige

What the fuck are you even talking about
Americans still haven't caught up
@laurefinwë don't be stupid
The most important variety of English in Europe is still British English
That's the reason why we learn British spelling and RP
Kek
Yeah, but listening to non english speakers pronounce things with a british accent is awful
American pronounciation is easier
Accent =/= pronunciation
>most important dialect comes from an island that is slipping into chaos and fading from the global scene

Nothing wrong with spelling things correctly
Yes
Pull the mad card
Wins every debate guarantee
And I still can't understand why Seppos keep thinking that their variety of English is somehow the "standard" one
Seppos?
My favourite synonym of yankee
I see
I'm pretty sure it was Aussies who have coined this term
I ain't no fucking yank
You talk like one
Y'all ain't ever heard my voice
Not what I meant
>get mad because someone is not using the American spelling rules
>not yank
Happened never, nowhere
Like I said
Mad card
Wins ever argument guarantee
What arguement?
Ahem
*debate*
