reply to British complaint
I am concerned that Conservapedia has missed the point that is is part of the www - WORLD wide web, not the American web. As a Christian, I welcome an alternative viewpoint to Wikipedia. I do not, however, relish the idea that Christian = proAmerican and that the only audience you are serving is American. I ask that you consider your worldwide audience/potential contributors. I would add, I'm not anti American - I've been to your country many times and have many friends there. I'm just not American.

:'''A Conservapedia editor responds:'''
:Dear Sir,
:Thank you for your feedback. We have many friends in England also, and I once had the pleasure of being involved in litigation with your barristers across the pond. Many Americans older than I fondly recall coming to your aid in World War II when things were looking quite bleak in London.
:Certainly no offen'''s'''e is intended by preferring the American spelling of words here on Conservapedia. The American spelling is typically more economical in its use of letters, and more people prefer the American spelling to the old British spelling.
:I do wonder why you refer to your spelling as "standard English." Could you join us on Conservapedia and explain that for us?
:Cheers, --[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 16:44, 7 March 2007 (EST)
