heres the thing that really chaps my ASS..you guys cant spell.. seriously
using the NZ rules..
a car smash should be called a WREQUE
a thing that burns should be a FYRE
an exclamation should be a WOUGH!!
the sign showing you how to get in should read ENTRE
dont even get me started on AL-U-MIN-UM or the æ in ENCYCLPæDIA..(where the FUCK is the æ key?????)
English is a bastard language - you a merry cans just say it funny
The Maori's twist it to suit them brown selves - rather funny being there are no Maori's left, the rest are of Maori decent which does not make them Maori.
The rest are just lazy or too dumb to know!
Pickup any current novel, magazine and it does not take long to find plenty of spelling and grammatical errors.
this is still interesting

Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Read Bill Bryson's "Mother Tongue" which is a very enlightening history of the English language. He points out that some American usages are more correct to the original word than what we consider to be the Queens English. For example, herb, pronounced erb by our American cousins comes from l'erb and we have loaded an "h" onto it.
This is a whole other can of worms.
Your spelling of "fire" as "fyre" is closer to the Old English original.
As for 'Merican English - it is accepted as being closer to Old English (particularly in places like West Virgina). This is from http://www.englishclub.com/english-language-history.htm
Edit - That bastid Winston beat me to it...From around 1600, the English colonization of North America resulted in the creation of a distinct American variety of English. Some English pronunciations and words "froze" when they reached America. In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English is. Some expressions that the British call "Americanisms" are in fact original British expressions that were preserved in the colonies while lost for a time in Britain (for example trash for rubbish, loan as a verb instead of lend, and fall for autumn; another example, frame-up, was re-imported into Britain through Hollywood gangster movies).
