Ok, I've made a 'short' lists of the most common spellings that are different between British and American English (not all in order, as even I don't have that much time on my hands), though seeing as how Internet English is mainly Americanised, its more than likely that the American spellings will eventually become the most commonly used (despite any objections from over here). acre massacre mediocre and ogre are some of the words which are surprisingly the same both sides of the big pond, but
what's really funny, is that the majority of those British spellings were originally American, and the majority of the American spellings were originally British. to think, I actually got marked down on an assignment for using some American English spellings, I was so bummed out because most computers over here are factory set to American English, as is Google, Facebook, Outlook, Windows, Office, and Menewsha (probably).
Menewsha's running on British time, and we have Assistant Administrator jellysundae making British references frequently. Really, it's all jelly's influence. But what an influence she has. "The event's over whenever Jelly wakes up!"

Hair page says "color" once and "colour" three times.
seriously, the only thing you picked nits about there was the one joke in the whole wall? that's like drinking the gravy and pushing the meat to the side of the plate. actually, when I first found Mene I thought it was a British site. it was only after deeper inspection that I realized that it in fact was not a British site (though much of the moderation team is). anyway, Jelly works hard at preserving her Britishness, and cakes, she works hard on preserving cakes too, and cress, though not on the cakes, that would just be weird. but, as per-usual, you've brushed aside the whole point of my writings (which was to list the grammatical differences between British and American English, as was the previous topic of conversation) and focused on a minor triviality. thanks. oh and by the way, everybody has an accent, the word simply means the nuances and inflictions in one's speech patterns which are unique to their little corner of the world. to all those people whom you think have an accent, you have an accent to them. in fact, as an American, you have more of an accent than most, because its the most recently populated large landmass in the world, hence all the accents are relatively new on the scale of accent longevity. its only had a few hundred years to diversify, whereas my accent has had thousands of years to develop into what it is today.
You're just talkin' about word spellings. What am I supposed to have to say to that, eh? You were talking about Americanized Menewsha, so I offered what British I knew of it. If you can't respond to a post and don't want to be completely off-topic, take something and run with it. Perhaps it'll start something new that CAN include you.
I know that already, silly. Everyone who talks has an accent. Even sign language's got accents. Saying "hello" in Korean sign is a fun little plot twist I learned from a K-drama. Hilarious. Notice the quotes around "no accent," buddy. And how I called it a "no accent" accent. It's the one heard on the radio. In the songs. On TV. Taught to the foreigners. Considered standard. Therefore, they call it "no accent." *pats head* You'll have a response refuting this last part and justifying you correcting me. I'll always be wrong when I'm with you. You're a know-it-all. Know. It. ALL.
I need that list so I can amp up my awesome spelling. xD

Actually, it's called an "American accent."
Shall I distract you with K-Pop?
Things that shouldn't be funny but are WAY TOO FUNNY: pants falling down.

Reminds me when I find white people/part Koreans in dramas.
Lee Hyun Jae
Julien Kang
Abigail Alderete
I had a hard time finding her because I couldn't remember what drama she was from. I remembered it, but then I was like, "No, that can't be it." so I didn't look it up.
I WAS RIGHT
its the emoticons, you still haven't noticed.
I was watching the old black and white tv series of Wild Wild West today. they never showed them over here before (in my lifetime atleast) so I didn't realise the Will Smith Kevin Kline movie was based on a tv show.
