I spell it the proper way. Spell how you pronounce. Nobody says color, you say Colour or Coler/Colar. The only non-American spelling I use are defen[b]c[/b]e and flavo[b]u[/b]r. Although I did spend a few years of school in England, I spell it that way because it is right

[quote] Although I did spend a few years of school in England[/quote] You're a spy! But duh 'merican way is more efficient!

No it isn't. A lot of the things were just to not be like the Crown, and were stupid from the start. Example: Metric Stystem is the smarter choice, although I suck at it now that I'm out practice [spoiler]although applying human concepts to real world are hard for me anyway. I'm bad at "this is 100ft". I am amazing at Earth concepts understood using man concepts, like Engineering[/spoiler]

Edited by BASED NOVICE: 7/15/2014 7:04:48 PMOh, I only meant the extra u thing in spelling. Metric is definitely the smarter way to go. 12 inches in a foot? What type of moron thought that was a good idea in a base 10 number system?
-
The extra u is how I pronounce it. Nobody pronounces without it, and if they do it is pronounced "Coler"
-
But we already know how it's pronounced. So why add the extra letter? I say a new, easy to learn, global language should be created. English is too autistic.
-
The global language is pictures. A Doctor made an app that takes sentences and turns them into pictures that can be lined up with proper grammar. This teaches autistic people to communicate, it can teach a second language as well as a first (If you learned Japanese, it would be <japanese> means dog, but an American kid would learn <picture of dog> means dog. Essentially, you would learn french by <picture of dog> means chien), and it makes sense. [spoiler]side not: What language do deaf people think in? Pictures. What language do deaf, blind people think in? Feelings and Emotions What language do deaf, blind, paralyzed, sociopaths straight out of birth people think in? No one knows...[/spoiler]

We shall create a way to speak with our minds!

Hence my spoiler. The earliest forms of "mind reading" are already available at the highest end hospitals, but they are unreliable. It takes the neural signal of what you are seeing, and relays that to a screen. It is next to impossible to make out the image currently, but if you see what the subject is looking at you are all "Oh! I can see it! That dark blob is the person!"
-
That's pretty cool stuff! I think it goes without saying, we've only scratched the surface with the brain.
-
Scratching brains is bad >:(
-
Shoving electrodes in there to monitor brain activity is alright though.

Not what I was talking about exactly, but interestingly relevant
