, 15:46, January 19, 2007→American Spelling of Words
*******If we make a rule about it people will be more likely to use the American spellings. Obviously we will not block specific people without ample warning. We will not have to patrol the pages day and night to make sure... just whenever someone does an edit post on their user page a reference to the rule and they'll stop.

*******It appears that you are missing my point. If you make a rule about it, people will ''have'' to use the American spelling, (not be 'more likely' to) which is unfair, as many people on this site cannot even spell normally. But hey! I am sure that you all have a just reason to make a rule that is so petty. (Oh, right; "We're American" @_@ the homepage doesn't really state that we're American anyway)) Oh, and I'm sure that I am unpatriotic because I spell "favorite" like our Founding Fathers did with a 'U' ... like a Brit. --[[User:Katja N|Katie]] 08:35, 19 January 2007 (EST)

I suggest that when anyone notices a British spelling, they should just change it to the U. S. spelling, with an edit comment like "per Conservapedia style." I think British contributors will get the idea. Brits who are familiar and comfortable with U. S. spellings can do so, those who aren't should just do their best and let others copyedit their work.
On a cooperative project, one has to be prepared to do a certain amount of cleaning up after others.
When a U. S. author is published in England or vice versa, nobody expects the ''author'' to rewrite their book in the other national style. The publisher does that for the author as part of the publishing process.
If Conservapedia's stylesheet mandates U. S. spellings, then contributors who use British spelling shouldn't object to having their work copyedited to use U. S. spellings.
Just my $0.02. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 10:46, 19 January 2007 (EST)
