different way of understanding grammer.

Even Windows keeps effing-well 'correcting' my spelling.

Then get a non-American operating system.

By the way, you can set the language preference to 15 different varieties of English on Windows 8.

Is pidgin one of them?
I have windows 7 and there's only one 'English' option--manglish.

No, you're not looking hard enough. There's Canadian, Indian, U.K., Australian at least. It's in the Control Panel.

Your gripes would carry more weight if you chose actual Americanisms to gripe about. Like one of your previous examples, 'spelled' and 'spelt' were both around before America was a country. It just happened that the preferred usages diverged. Which leaves nonconformist Americans free to use 'spelt' and their counterparts in the U.K. to use 'spelled' if they desire. Like 'learned' and 'learnt' - very much not like 'meaned' and 'meant.' Americans use 'spelt' and 'learnt' much more in oral conversation, but rarely in writing.

Personally, I enjoy conversing on this site and learning different words. Do you know how annoying it is to have to write out 'mathematics' all the time? Now, I can just use 'maths.'

I did that, and there's only one option. The 'language pack' via updates doesn't work either. How ridiculous anyway. What the fuck is 'Indian English'? Sounds like one of your google nerd's idea of a joke.

I believe it's the language spoken by the second most populous country in the world.

. It's not just the language that's being stupided-down. Your own country is but a shadow of what it used to be.

Really an inane comment and one that I'm surprised you'd even put out here. You're continuing to sound as if you are "Fundamentalist British", one that holds onto the past, one who does not favor change, one that denies the existence of other cultures other than what you believe to be the "right one'... is there a religion looming on the horizon of this vision of yours? Please, get a grip and look to the positive in life rather that hiding in the corner, irritated with the world today wishing everything would go back to the 18th C. It isn't going to happen, amigo. Sorry...

Bullshit. Your 'culture' is poisoning the whole planet. It's your culture that is destroying others' cultures. I'm surprised you didn't erect a McCrapolds on the moon while your were up there. Go and have a group hug with someone, have another 'team-building session, and stick your phony 'customs' up your collective arse.

Typical moronic yank response. Everything is about muslims to you lot (until you find someone new to be paranoid about).

The days of the British Empire, when the Sun never set, is but a memory now long remaining encased in history's books, set in unison like little soldiers, all lined up covered in dust, waiting, waiting, waiting... for what? another tv series of the past... grateful to be an ally of the U.S.A., where progress and liberalism always wins in the final analysis, to be written down in history one more time... this America, the world's 3rd largest country to where millions have come from every Nation on Earth to find their hopes and dreams unavailable elsewhere but upon these shores once stepped on by your unwanted Pilgrims and seekers of freedoms and choices... they still come.

It's is good Britain does not feel about the U.S. as you do, vt... as you do. Such a sad response...

You cannot be serious.

And yet those Pilgrims were those who wished to impose their way of life upon others?

The Pilgrims were able to live without interference into their lives from others (this was in 1620).

Indeed. Smiles are not threatening.
