I'll bet the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and all the other countries that use wacky spellings could collectively save $50 billion a year or more in printer ink and man-hours by eliminating all those superfluous letters (color instead of colour, behavior instead of behaviour, counseling instead of counselling, etc.). They should change the "s" to a "z" as well: socialization instead of socialisation (that drives me crazy, er, crasy?). Finally, they need to fix that -re thing: centre instead of center or fibre instead of fiber. After all, it's the 21st century -- time to get with the program (instead of programme). |
