American vs British English (written)

Also, spelling through as 'thru' is unbearable and makes me cringe.

[Thyme]

Judgement/'Judgment'. 




The former looks so much better.  I mean Jesus, do you drop the E off in management?  No.  Why would American English do that for judgement then?

It seems I have manadged to irk you.

Also, I love how BE differentiates between practise (v.) and practice (n.). Similarly, license/licence. The only word in AME following this pattern that I know of is advise/advice.

Most of the -re/-ers, that I can think of, all stem from French words that migrated into English.

All of which stem indirectly from the Latin.

The extra 'u's are retarded.

aluminium is retarded since the guy who discovered aluminum called it aluminum and some wankers decided to be all british and add extra letters.

Actually Davy himself changed it. He originally called it alumium. He changed it four years later to aluminum, and Americans liked it so they used that. The Brits didn't like either term and used aluminium because they felt it followed the trend of '-ium' set by sodium, calcium, and strontium.
