    I think spellings and punctuation are still valid. Mostly. Ignore variations between English and Americanese.

      In not the Americans’ fault that the English decided to butcher their own language after the US kicked them out

        The spelling differences are actually mostly due to Noah Webster standardising what he saw as pure Anglo-Saxon English without corruption by French princelings.

        England and all its former colonies (except the American ones) agree on the language, and the only odd one out - the United States feels it is unique among former colonies and its parent nation as the sole owner of the most correct version of English.

        Seems likely /s

          I know this is all a joke, but Canada doesn’t share the UK’s… proclivities with language
