How offended do Americans get when they see "Colour" instead of "Color" in a UI? I guess I should spell everything wrong US stylee given the relative population of potential players, but I just can't do it during dev. People who used Ogre3D back in the day will recognise this trait. Maybe I'll carry on and just do an en-US translation just before shipping so I don't have to look at it

TIL that Noah Webster, the guy who decided to change all the American spellings for things like colour also tried and failed to get people to spell "soup" as "soop" and "sponge" as "spunge"

I guess he didn't have a lot on

@sinbad hold the fuck up

there's ONE GUY we can blame for our stupid American spellings?

Fuck Hitler, time machine target list should have him at the top

@glassbottommeg @sinbad You would say such a thing on our holiday? These are the values upon which our nation is founded! youtube.com/watch?v=JYqfVE-fyk
