    In most cases, the American spelling of English words compared to the rest-of-the-world spelling is pretty much a wash. A matter of personal preference.

    But “metre” is a hill I will die on. “Metre” and “meter” mean different things, and by spelling them both “meter”, as the Americans do, you’re just making communication worse.

          Ah, thank you! Good bot. For the record, I use ReVanced, so I never see ads on YouTube. I highly recommend this to everyone on Android (sorry, iOS, no easy solution for you due to Apple’s walled garden), but it is a really good idea to put a piped link in there as well.

            Yeah ReVanced is so critical for me, because unlike most of the other alternatives it lets me hook into my YouTube account and do things like add videos to my Watch Later playlist and interact with the comments.

      Also gas which can either be petrol or natural gas.

        In America “gas” is short for gasoline, which is petrol.

        It’s still shit because our lazy asses do still call both types “gas”, but there is a distinction.
