American or British?

[Constance Anderson]

I was a British colony.When I write this word colour(British),i see the green wavy line on the bottom means wrong spelling.But when i write color(American),it is a right spelling.

Ioji pick American spelling.So choose what type of English language you want(means poll).The most ones will be the type of English language to use.

PS:I like the pronounce dance in American than British

Ioji didn't "pick American spelling"; it's probably just a phpbb thing. Or your computer.

Personally, I pick and choose; for instance, I use 'ou' over 'o' (colour, honour, neighbour, favourite) but I use 's' and not 'z' (customize) and I don't use the 're' (center), exception being theater/theatre (theater for location, theatre for the art).

Also, congratulations on attaining the title of "colony"!

Ehh...I feel like a freak of nature. I type "colour" and "humour", and "customize", and center. But if it's an essay, I type centre.

So what am I?

PS and I mostly speak American (aluminum as alu-min-num)

British.

Who spells "Mum" with a "O" damn it! And it's colour, not color! And trousers instead of pants! And armour instead of armor! I think you get the idea... Americans are friendly but I just don't like American, English.

Spelling cow HAS to try correct the British spelling in this post, doesn't it? But no suree, no way am I going to let Spelling cow change it!

I couldn't care less. I speak a little bit of both, though I mainly just write "the American way", because that's the way I've learned. I believe my speech is more to the American side as well, but I don't know.

[Simon Brancacane]

I pronounce words the British way, and I mostly use British spelling as well.

Neither spelling/speaking manner really bothers me at all.

I use American spellings/pronunciations only, though. I don't even know anyone (in real life) that uses the British version. Because I live in a small hick town. :(

America is just a mix of British and Irish from a long time ago. Any O'Neill on this website?

I like the American way With color/colour, I think it's just easier to use the one with shorter spelling
