→‎Item 12: American spelling
Line 543: Line 543:     
:: I don't think that this should be included as an example of bias. The British spelling is no inherently better or worse than the American spelling, and it is ludicrous to pretend otherwise. The bias list has some good points, but they are being weakened by silly points like number 12.--[[User:Manchot|Manchot]] 23:43, 11 March 2007 (EDT)

::: There seems to be an anti-American undercurrent to the spelling issue, just as there is an anti-Christian motive to erasing "A.D."  We have vandals on this site going around changing American to British spellings.  No joke.  The same must be occurring on Wikipedia because non-American spellings turn up in the oddest of places.  When most users are Americans and the system was started in America, doesn't that strike you as a bit odd???  American-bashing seems to have become quite a sport around the world, and this is part of it.  American spelling is more economical, by the way.  "Color", not "Colour".  The "u" need not be there.  Americans love the British, by the way, and every four years we elect a British descendent as president.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:55, 11 March 2007 (EDT)
