I understand "color". How do you guys spell "center" (or what do you =
say differently than center).

Subject: [kl] English and American
I think what Fred meant was that the English speak English and the
Americans speak American.
Many years ago at University there was a young American woman who was
living in the same block. She was extremely nice, intelligent and
sensible. But she in now way spoke the same language as me - if she was
speaking English then she was killing it. The only way I could stop
screaming at her was to tell myself that she wasn't murdering my
beautiful mother tongue but was simply speaking a different language -
namely American.
Those Americans who don't agree with me had better buy an English
dictionary and learn how to spell!!!!!!! Because color is not an English
word, neither is center.=20
See what I mean?
Please note nothing that I have said is intended to imply that either
language is better or worse than the other - just to establish that
there is a difference!
