Is your way the right way or do you admit the other way is probably right but you're stuck with it because of where you live?

Well since Britain invented The English language our way is the correct way to spell English words.

It is COL OU R, FAV OU RITE, CHEQUE and THEATRE for instance and not the butchered way the Yanks spell words.

THEATRE

Actually over here we use that term to, it just tends to refer to the performance art itself rather than the performing house.

British people spell with more vowels because they actually pronounce more vowels when they talk

Cheque, colour, etc. use more letters and are therefore inferior.

I actually use both theater and theatre depending on whether I'm talking about the location or the practice. For me, a theater is a location, but someone directing a stage play would be doing theatre work. Yes, I realize that is completely arbitrary and a pointless distinction; that's just something I somehow got in the habit of doing.

Literally English (traditional) vs English (simplified).
Do, or do not. There is no Trumble.

I interchange the spelling of grey/gray.
Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

It's spelled color in Latin, which is the original source of the word.

It's the spelling Regal Entertainment Group uses to refer to their locations. Like Theatre905 or whatnot. I've given up trying to figure out which one is supposed to be which.

Aren't the extra U's in certain words a holdover from when the French ruled England? You Brits still want to be like the French ? *snickers*

I'm being tongue in cheek...mostly.

Colour does reflect the French historical spelling yes (it's couleur in modern French), but is originally from the Latin color either way.

It's supposed to be the English language, not the French language.

I also use Grey/Gray interchangeably. Other than that the closest I will get is "tyre" and that's if I'm talking about F1. Any other time I need to use that word it's "tire."

They can have the correct way, but we'll keep the BEST way. Wtf is this 'cheque', 'zed', and Ahlooomeeneeium talk?

Best we can do is adopt 'glamour' into our vocabshkis. Otherwise, short spelling, tome-saving 4LIFE. And being from the south this means that the US vernacular ain't safe either. We'll look for ways to abbreviate abbreviated words.
