There is only one way of avoiding the war – that is the overthrow of this society. However, as we are too weak for this task, the war is inevitable. -L. Trotsky, 1939
Trying to apply logic to english isnt really that sensible. Yes we say Cheque, but thats how it is always been. I dislike the American language because it is just a bastardised, lazy version of true english, even if that english makes no sense. Maneuver is one word I particularly get annoyed about. Yes, Manouevre is not as easy to spell. Tough titties to you, develop spelling ability.

Haha, see the bolded word.... That's the American way. If your not being lazy, your unpatriotic! Or something like that...
I like to say, "If necessity is the mother of invention, then laziness is it's father."

That's because its the way it is! Thats the first step to doing text speak.
Oh look, the o and gh in Through are completely pointless. Lets right Thru. Th is a little long winded, lets use F. There you go, Fru.
Because. Such a pointlessly long word. the E is kinda pointless cause the B makes the same sound, lets remove it. bcause. Ause makes the same nose as us, so lets change it again. bcus.
I have seen plenty of people on here getting pissed over text speak, when its precisely the same principle.
You can take my U's when you pry them out of my cold, dead typewriter.
"You've all been selected for this mission because you each have a special skill. Professor Hawking, John Leslie, Phil Neville, the Wu-Tang Clan, Usher, the Sugar Puffs Monster and Daniel Day-Lewis! Welcome to Operation MindFuck!"
So it's wrong to spell something differently? By that logic every language in the world is wrong, if it isn't American english. French spell hello "Bonjour", so are they wrong? I admit, I can possibly be stuck up. And I do generally have a slightly negative view of American's, although most of the ones on this website really have changed that to what my former opinion of them were. And I can understand why you spell it differently, even if I disagree. But having a different opinion is automatically wrong?
