vacation uk
Why is it that the UK english and US english have different spellings?

UK = maths US = math. UK = colour US = color. UK = realise US = relize. UK = holiday US = vacation. UK = football US = soccer.

Why? Whenever I come to the states, no one really gets what I say and I don’t get what they say! Its pointless, so why!?

UK English is the “original” English. American English is different just to be different. The only reason we drive on the right side of the road is to be different from the Brits. I prefer UK English (not that I’m not proud to be an American). It’s more..I don’t know, proper. Look what happening to American English. We now have words like “lite” and “thru.” They’re butchering our language! It’s maddening!

My first vacation to Scotland (UK) in 2004
