Learn how to drive on the correct (right) side of the road, then you can start trying to tell people how things are 'supposed' to be done. Pirate

learn to use the metric system like everyone else before you tell people how things are supposed to be done.

If my attempt at pointing out a contrast of ideas was too advanced and sailed over your head, my apologies. This may be easier for you:

Cars drive on right side, brits decided they wanted to drive on the left. And no one in the world gave a ****.

People in English speaking countries said 'zed', Americans thought it was pointless to do so and stopped. And no one in the world gave a ****.

Point being, no one gives a **** what your opinion is of how someone in another country says a word or letter as it doesn't effect a damn thing in this special little place I know of called 'real life'. You should check it out, go spray some WD40 on your door hinges and open it. You might be surprised, there's neat stuff out there.

Also, just because you aren't capable of grasping a system of volumes and measurements that's not based on 10 doesn't mean those who use other means aren't capable of grasping the most simple, easy to use measuring system ever invented.

For one who doesn't care you sure got mighty defensive. Resorting to insults? I mean really how old are you? 12?

Grow up.

There is this thing called change. it effects pretty much everything. and just because something changes does not mean that thing is wrong. it is the reason we are not all still speaking a combination of latin and germanic. so yes americans use a 'newer' version of the same language that the people of the UK do, but that does not mean that they are inherently wrong. it is merely different. :) Agreed. Just because something is different doesn't make it wrong. However, the reason it's different is because Americans have taken it on themselves to "reform" the English language, a goal which is pointless, as the English language, by evolution, is a hodgepodge of bits from any number of different languages, most of them European, growing and adding to itself every single day. Noone has a hope of "reforming" such a fluid language. It would be like herding catz (sorry deadcatz...). And in point of fact, we ARE indeed mostly "still speaking a combination of latin and germanic". Even the "reforms" haven't eliminated this, because we would have to invent entirely new words to replace the old ones. But the thing that makes it really wrong is when they try to inflict their "corrected version" of English on the rest of the English speaking world, as if it's something they've invented, or done us a service by. I have no problem with new versions of anything. I make up new words every day to express myself. That doesn't make the words I use correct, and I don't inflict my version on everyone else.

I am an American and I can almost guarantee that my family reached 100% literacy in English before your family did. Just because you followed Johnson and we went with Webster does not entitle you to any sort of claim on the language. You can use Quebec French as an example of speaking a "proper" form of a language. Samuel Johnson's dictionary is tainted by verbal nonsense.
