[citation][nom]gokanis[/nom]No we omit them because they are not necessary, just like we omitted the english back in 1776.[/citation] You have the french to thank for that. They supplied the arms and money necessary to defeat the English. By rights, you should be speaking French. Ironically, America has always treated the French most uncharitably despite Louis XVI losing his head so "Americans" could gain independence.

It really doesn't matter how you spell a word as long as it's a correct spelling in American English or British English. All of you are just trying to find a way to get in an argument with each other. Color vs colour, no one really cares at the end of the day. And yes, there are a lot of Americans who are lazy with their English, but that doesn't mean all of us are complete idiots. What matters is that you get the point across with grammatical correctness. All of the extra letters are just a waste of time and I would love to see one of you try to debate why an extra letter is needed in such words as "honor/honour".

I can tell you for sure that "sssssssssseeeeeeeeeerrrrrrriiiiiiiiooooooooooouuuuuuussssssssllllllllllyyyyyyyy" doesn't exist in any dictionary of the English language. What drivel again?

Germans are the largest group if you check the ancestry of 'white' Americans; and they marched down the Champs d'Elysees a few times as well. So German would trump French I guess :)

But can you imagine Hollywood movies in German? Dirty Harry would not be the same; Jawoll, mein Herr... :)

Ooh, that attitude REALLY gets on my thrupenny bits (British English colloquialism - look it up).

The French got France back thanks to the ALLIES, not just America.
