Sabcat Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 That is not the case if you are educated in BrE (British English) orthography. How many times must this be explained? BrE orthography is characterised by several differences from its American counterpart. I personally wish that BrE would become the international standard for English pronunciation, orthography and vocabulary. Imagine the wondrous effect of a British Academy of the English Language, similar in function to the l'Académie française! I like that English is not standardised and that some words are spelt differently depending on location. I live in a part of England where, like Americans we write the word mom, everywhere else here they write mum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
