Nuh-uh. Civilization > civilisation.

I'd also have to eradicate the American version of English words, in my civilisation.

I hate multiculturalism. The way I see it, each pocket of civilization should try its best to be itself.
If I were to build my own civilisation, such people would be locked up in mental asylums.
If I were to build my own civilization, I would make sure people knew how to spell civilization. :happy:
This is sort of ironic :biggrin:

I could say the same of the real versions of English words, in my civilization.

FOREIGN IDEAS FACTS WILL NOT TAINT MY PEOPLE.

Stop pointing out my hypocrisy, Frodo. Don't you have something to throw into a volcano?

Yeah well your society would be worse than communism, everyone would be illiterate.

To Americans: Feel free to spell things like that, but please know that you're wrong every time you do it?

Well, the language is called "English" and not "American", so I have to say your argument is invalid. :tongue:

I crack racist and religious jokes because they are funny. Not because I'm racist or blasphemous.. If only everyone could take a joke in the world.

I also wish my girlfriend was prettier. But I still love her.

I sort of want to spell things like the British just to annoy everyone. But sometimes it takes a whole extra letter, and I just don't have the patience.

If the French hadn't helped you become independent, you speak english correctly. Its because of this I've never been able to forgive them.

But, by default I spell things as colour and armour and so on. How am I still wrong? T_T

When I was extremely depressed and on medication, I wrote better short stories than [censored] Vonnegut.

Now that I'm a very happy, focused, and medication free person, I can't write worth a damn.

Coming to terms with the fact that my happiness is creating a very weird version of writers block. Need to find some better inspiration.

Your quaint spellings are actually holdovers from Old Norman French. . .so you must forgive yourself. Or speak Welsh.

I think it's more a case that Webster cocked it up "because he could". For a man so gifted at compiling words, he seemed rather less gifted at forward thinking.
