The Order of the Can II

In all seriousness - spelling is pointless! Spelling only came into existence around the 1700s - before that it didn't matter. It was the Americans that started it. They were so obsessed about not being British (cos basically they were but didn't want people to think so!) so they started to make their own spellings (ie. the wrong ones). Along with social pressure of 'change is bad' language became much more strictured and 'correct spelling' was enforced - hence the situation we have today. Ie. we have the American Revolution to thank for spelling tests :D

Please congratulate me on achieving a complete level of unbias, courtesy and using no exaggeration whatsoever! :)
 
Congratulations WHB:p

And Douglas, that makes me actually not very glad, because if native English speakers like you spell like you there is no hope for abroad people... :p
 
:eek: Don't poke me, you force me to make myself unpokable *puts 100000 Volts on her that she doesn't feel but anyone who touches her does*

Douglas: *pokes again* WZAAAMMMM!!!
Lieke: *laughs*:D
 
Standerdized spelling is a pain in some ways – but think what the internet would be like without it. :eek:

Oh, wait. Nobody on the internet spells right anyway. Hm. Are we going backwards?
