I know this has been nom’d at least 3 times previously, but I feel strongly inclined to do another one not least because of how a lot of UK forums use American spelling, and posters just don’t seem to be bothered (or don’t have the option to change to UK dictionary) to want to change certain words to their correct UK spelling.
For example, if I type “defence” on this site, it is highlighted as being incorrect, and should be spelt “defense”
Similarly with “colour”. Again, I am wrong, and should be spelling it as “color”
I see this quite a lot on other UK website forums, and it worries me how such words are superseding the British way of spelling those words, and users just don’t seem to know the difference.
And it always makes me laugh when I install some computer software and I’m prompted to enter a language from a menu. It will include perhaps 4, but the best you can use is “English”. But this isn’t British English, but fucking Yank English (which also means the date format is American, which fucking confuses me when I see something like 09/07/19, and I’m thinking, 9th July, when in actual fact its 7th September)
Of course you also get cunts saying to cafe staff “can I get 2 coffees!” So where the fuck does “can I get” mean? You’re not physically getting the coffees, it’s the cunt behind the counter that’s “getting” the coffee for you, you cunt!
American culture has been slowly absorbing itself into British culture over the decades, not least with shit TV and fast food joints, but the English language itself is now under threat and no one gives a shit.
And why is it that Americans can have the American flag hanging outside of their homes, or in their schools and offices and no one gives a shit. Whereas over here, if you have the union flag flying you’re instantly tarred as a racist cunt!
Oh and why do British kids insist on wearing clothes with the Stars & Stripes printed all over it; or “I love the USA”? Why can’t they be a bit more loyal and patriotic and wear something that is British (but of course, we all know why they can’t do that!)
Have a nice fucking day, cunts!
