1: Fucker is not spelt with an @ in it.
2: Ebaumsworld.
[QUOTE=tankkiller;19502837]I was talking about useless silent letters at the end of words that make them look stupid, not letters that should be at the beginning of words even if they're silent like H at the beginning of Honor.[/QUOTE]
Well considering none of the ones you listed were at the end of the words, that kind of nullifies your point.

Yes they were, they're either one letter away from being the last letter, or they're the same letters switched around, or they shouldn't even be there (Such as Program[i]me[/i] which are the last letters)
[QUOTE=Zayfox;19502901]I'm English-born Australian, yet I still spell all those kinds of words in American-English, it's just more logical.[/QUOTE]
But they don't even sound right with the Americanisms there, Honour (honor) would sound more correct as oner. I suppose that's a shortcoming of the whole English language, unnecessary spellings. It's a pretty pretentious language.
Queens English is the 'official' language and accent of England

But our doesn't make the same sound as "er".
Our makes the same sound as are.

Okay, I can see how that may sound more accurate, but even then it has the wrong vowels anyway. Color would sound like collar when said out loud if it was pronounced phonetically, but then it would become another confusing homophone.

That would be because you spend so much time on the internet or watching tv that it has been melted into your brain.

I'm Aussie, we pronounce Honour as o([B]o[/B]ffice)ner([B]ner[/B]vous)
and our makes the same sound as ow or hour.

Uh okay? Our doesn't make a "ner" sound either.
Apparently I speak this:

I like colour written with the u.
It looks, don't know, more varied.
I always type proper english, even in texts and emails and MSN etc.
I can't speak properly though, I pronounce th's as either V or F.

:smug: Take that you silly southeners.
I think that no country practices English, "the right way."
Nobody is going to be absolutely perfect at it...

I pronounce TH sounds right though, which I somehow figured out during a game of RollerCoaster Tycoon when I was a kid.
Queens english?
On most UK shows they have regional accents.
If everybody spoke English in the same way it'd be fucking boring.

You, sir, make an [U]excellent[/U] point!
I tend to speak the Queen's English, but a lot of slang normally slips in. my writing is fine, just some grammatical mistakes.
[QUOTE=tankkiller;19502978]Our makes the same sound as are.[/QUOTE]
Do you really think this? Is THAT why I always see people type 'are' instead of 'our'?
That always really pissed me off because I saw it a lot, and there was apparently no reason for replacing one word with another completely differently spelled and pronounced word. If other people think this then it makes more sense, but it's still just as aggravating. And just slightly humourous.
i dont speak english i speak australian
I go from speaking English correctly to this beast: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkshire_dialect_and_accent[/url]
It usually happens after a few ales or when speaking to other Yorkshire folk.
Whoop whoop Baltimorese. Maryland represent.
I used to spell slang on the internet all the time but now i type words correctly but i don't always use grammar.

Or capitalization, apparently.
British English is correct, American English is Wrong. Simple as.
If everybody would speak the same English there would be no stereotypes to make fun of.
