Comment on These dames wanting inclusivity
Neon@lemmy.world 16 hours agoMy brother in christ, you do realize the british spelling is the original, right?
The reason you spell it differently was a conscious decision of your revolutionaries to differentiate themselves from the brits
You used the same spelling before your independence, you know that, right?
And how about “noone can bully” instead of “everyone can bully”?
Just throwing tht in the room here.
I won’t bully you for writing “recognise” just to assert your independence, you let us be us and everyone is happy, is tht a Deal?

The british spelling comes from the conquest of the duke of normandy and was already being standardized before your independence.
This is again such a us-centric way of thinking.
“We are so important the british chnged their entire language just to spite us”
I really don’t want to be rude when I say this, but I can’t find any better qords: please get out of your bubble. This US-centrism really annoys others.
And don’t tell people to “go learn history”. It’s just bloody rude, even if you would have been right.
