Hiya Strat there are a couple of other differences I can think of, theatre being standard British spelling, theater being standad American; the use of a z in place of an s in some words in American spelling like hospitalise/hospitalize, colonise/colonize (I believe that's correct but am not 100% sure). Here in New Zealand we use British, so colour, metre, centre, colonise etc. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by _strat_ from Wednesday, April 08, 2009 11:27:44 AM)

Ok... Ive got a question regarding the English language.
Ive noticed a couple of times now, there seems to be (at least) two ways of spelling certain things, British and American. Like colour and color (with or without the u), and center or centre. Now, I guess it aint such a big deal (although Conservapedia banns British spelling - apparently it is an "anti-American bias"), but... Can anyone tell me what is British and what is American, and are there more differences than above listed?
