British English has the best possible spelling system and I'm tired of pretending otherwise

spelling shouldn’t have ever been changed if they weren’t going to go all the way so I agree but I’m too used to american
Levi Anderson
Wäät abööot Finnnööösss spellöng?

It's so counterintuitive. There's no use for the u in "colour", the first "o" in "oestrogen", the gh in "plough", the "me" in "programme", etc.
Charles Parker
keeps us closer to our french roots
the endless burger obsession with simplicity and rationality is the absolute antithesis of SOVL and culture
Lincoln Hernandez
There's no use for half the letters in English words, but it adds style and keeps a connection with the past.
Isaiah Kelly
fuck off 'z' nigger. I am so sick of my search engine correcting me
Christopher Fisher
Your entire spelling is based on being derivative from the root words. Your half assed attempt at changing that is just the worst of both worlds

Fák yú, wí wil simplifai dhe speling íven mór.
Jason Hill
American spelling is objectively superior by all metrics.
Grayson Hughes
Colour is pronounced more like "culluh" anyway. At least it is in England.
And in yankland it's probably pronounced like "culler", I think
Tyler Peterson
It sounds nice when I’m watching british youtubers but if I’ve seen someone speaking like that on the regular I’d probably kick them in the face.
Jaxson Hughes
you are voldemort and I am harry potter and /brit/ is dumbledore's army...
Parker Sullivan
It doesn't rhyme with our.
Jonathan Young
this is probably bait but the real reason to preserve spelling is so etymologically it makes sense
like changing defence to s removes the connection to fence
Jose Nelson
Wí wil ceinj auer speling egen tú fyrdher distens auerselvz from Briten.
Chase Kelly
But "defense" is the Latin spelling.
Hunter Perez
>NO YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE SPELLING OF ALL OF THESE WORDS BECAUSE... YOU JUST DO OKAY???
Camden Lee
yes but fence is derived from defence
Jose Scott
Then it's fence whose spelling needs to be fixed.
Nicholas Young
American's probably have better pronunciation than us. I never recovered from that 'CHEWSDAY' image
Oliver Martinez
fuck off you're probably the kind of poorthern runt that actually says chewsday and bri'ish

that’s what I mean all of the changes were random and inconsistent
Ryan Fisher
The British pronunciation is a product of yod coalescence, the American pronunciation is a product of yod dropping. Both come from "Tyoozday" (I can't type IPA right now).
