== Deleted anti-British rant ==

== Defense/defence ==

''As American society became more productive and efficient than the British, Americans began to emphasize economy in language also...''

In what way is ''defense'' "more concise and economical" than ''defence''? [[User:AngusF|AngusF]] 14:51, 2 October 2009 (EDT)

I have removed this statement as it sounds like an anti-British rant.

Also, what is so "archaic" about British spellings and usages? If they really were "archaic" is it not right to say then that many American spellings and usages are equally as "archaic" as the British ones? [[User:MatthewR|MatthewR]] 23:16, 1 July 2009 (EDT)

 

All of the text about Roosevelt's spelling reforms were copied from other online sources; therefore, I have removed it on the grounds of copyright violation. [[User:SamH|SamH]] 00:51, 15 May 2010 (EDT)
