**Why bother? You would alienate conservatives who are from Europe. And I am a little biased here because I use British spelling all the time. =D -- [[User:Katja N|Katie]] 22:44, 18 January 2007 (EST)

*** Because we are an American encyclopedia...not British. [[User:PhilipB|PhilipB]] 22:49, 18 January 2007 (EST)

****Point: We are an online encylopedia which can go all over the world, including England. And if a British man had a good point that he put up on the site but used his own spelling, would we ban him? After all, he would be "breaking the Conservapedia Commandments." I just don't think making people spell things the American way should be in the rulebook. (People on this site often make spelling errors anyway)--[[User:Katja N|Katie]] 23:06, 18 January 2007 (EST)

*****If a British guy starts using British spellings we warn him to stop... if he continues... we would block him. If people refuse to respect our rules they can go elsewhere. PS. Sorry for editing your post... I'm just trying to keep things organized. [[User:PhilipB|PhilipB]] 23:10, 18 January 2007 (EST)

****** British and American are basically the same thing. We should encourage people to use the American spelling but it is ridiculous to "block" them...After all, American is just butchered English --[[User:Katja N|Katie]] 23:18, 18 January 2007 (EST)

*******We are not debating the issue of blocking someone for disobeying a rule (which is something we have reserved the right to do), we're debating adding an "American spellings" rule. The fact is that were an American encyclopedia so we should remain patriotic and use the American spellings for words. We can't just say that Conservapedia "encourages" or "recommends" this, because we can't enforce that. [[User:PhilipB|PhilipB]] 23:42, 18 January 2007 (EST)
