Beware, rant follows…

In America, many people believe that Canadians speak english, but they spell it wrong. That’s utter crap. First of all, the phrase “spell it wrong” is rather single minded, and self-centered, but let’s disregard that for a minute. As any Canadian, Brit, Australan(?) will tell you, they speak the Queen’s english, and that is the real way to spell things. In addition to that, it is a known fact that in 18th and 19th century, American scholars modified the english language as much as possible to create a certain distinction between England and it’s colonies (pre 1776), and United States of America (post 1776).

Note: I am not saying that all people think this way, but I realized (quite a while back) that many do.
