FFs ok so americanisms piss me off as much as the next person, but did u know "fall" (as in autumn) is actually an old-english word, whereas our equivilent was "stolen" from latinate languages?? looks like the yanks got it right there!

also, yes american spellings are annoying, but dont u think they make slightly more sense sometimes?
*goes to wash out mouth with soap and water*

and if people are gonna be so pedantic, maybe we should have an "academie anglais"? the french are so good at things etc....
