You say toe-may-toe, I say toe-mah-toe. Actually I don't. I don't know anyone who says toe-mah-toe. But that's beside the point.

I kind of disagree, as it is the English language, it is better to spell things their way and let's face it I spelled just sounds stupid, it is obviously I spelt. It looks better the English way. Yet at the same time there are accents to take into consideration, which is why the way people pronounce things isn't being ignorant. It is just the whole color vs. colour, learned vs. learnt thing that is stupid. Just spell it the original way, it was the way it was meant to be. I do realise this is about the way people say things not how it is spelt, but I had to but it in because the spelling thing really shouldn't happen.

Using the "-ed" ending rather than the "t" ending does not sound stupid, it's just different. Both spellings are correct and accepted, so it's not really a big deal. Besides, if we stuck to "original spellings" and didn't change anything, we'd all be speaking/ writing in either Old English, Latin, or Greek.

And that would be fine, name one thing wrong with Old English, Latin or Greek. And there is nothing wrong with saying spelled except you seem like an idiot.

There's not anything specifically wrong with any of those languages (besides Latin being dead), I was just pointing out that if we stuck to original spellings, we wouldn't have today's English. And how does saying "spelled" or "learned" make one seem like an idiot? Those words aren't wrong, just different.

There was no real point to changing the word other then the fact they could, it is stupid as me making llover be spelt lover just because I can, the original term is the better term because it is the way it the person(s) intended it to be.

Americanizing words just makes the language more diverse, it's not idiotic in any way. Why did the English decide to take Latin and change random words to form a new language? Same with the Spanish? Listen to your argument and ask yourself it is making any sense at all.

Well we did not take a entire language and change like 30 words by a letter or two, we based it off of Latin and such, but we did make a completely different language with words based off of Latin and Celtic and German language.

I agree too, but i often like to tell Americans their English is wrong because when they hear the English of a commonwealth nation who has adapted their own style of English (such as India) they like to call it "wrong" as if their English is original or wtv.

That would be too easy. People argue about stupid things...

It's called adapting. Otherwise, we would all be speaking with thys and thees. Learned vs Learnt Color vs Colour. Does it matter? Can you still understand me if I say dreamed instead of dreamt?

Hmmmm i wonder what if the british and americans went to war again hmmm

I agree with that, but it really bugs me when Americans insist that their way is the correct way, when in actual fact, they're the only country in the world where things are spelled like that.
