I can't help it, reading Webster"s arguments reminds me of this humorous text which was widely propagated quite a few years ago in the EU’s language-related industry: The European Union commissioners have announced that an agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for Eu...

Did you guys know that American English actually is British English from the 18-19th century? The English in Britain just developed further (to today's UK English) whereas the US kept their "British" accent. Anyway, I opt for BE. Altough I lived a couple of years in Vancouver and also my accent der...
