Poll: English or American spelling?

[Arkhangelsk]

When writing on sites, like this forum for example, do you use English or American spell-check? I use English, as I'm more used to it, and I like the spelling better (even though u after o sometimes looks a bit weird).

British....because I am.

Silly question, seeing as most escapists are one or the other.

 

[electric_warrior]

british because that's the correct way to spell the words, it's called english not american

nice and provocative, let the quotations role!!

My spell checking software is ostensibly American, but since I read and have posted quotes from quite a few publications that originate on the other side of the pond, I've mostly trained it to recognize the British spellings as actual words.

Ergo it depends.

 

[ghalkhsdkssakgh]

British. Because that's what I was taught.

 

[[Cold-Shoulder]]

I use british.

Well said

 

[Ph0t0n1c Ph34r]

Even though I am American I say British. It is thier language after all.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

Wait... there's an online spellchecker? Where?

Anyway, I use British. As I am.

Amen to that!
It's our language damnit!

I'm American, but British spelling is cooler.

Off Topic: [small] I wish I had a British accent [/small]

 

[TheLastCylon]

American, FUCK YEAH!

[small]I'm not really like that...honest![/small]

 

[Chipperz]

British, because I am. So long as I can read it, I don't care too much, though.

 

[bodyklok]

English, because not only am I English, I like to do things they way they were meant to be done.

Unless the way they are meant to be done is shit, which in this case it isn't
of course, but I was just stating that for clarity.

 

[historybuff]

I'm an American, so I use the American spellings.


Edit: Wow, there sure is a lot of elitism involving a spell checker. Haha.

 

[bodyklok]

Wait... there's an online spellchecker? Where?

There's a bunch of Firefox add-ons that correct spelling [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3], available in a hundreds of different languages.

I've got the British version and I used it three times while writing this post.

 

[Kriptonite]

American because I didn't know there was/is an option.

 

[bjj hero]

English every time. It's how it is meant to be. We were writing English when "Americans" were starving out their first winter.

I wish I had an Irish accent. It's sexy!

 

[Pyre00]

Like, Armor or Armour? Or color or colour?

Well American, of course. Just makes more sense in a language that doesn't make much at all.
