You didn’t give us the language. Actually, a lot of countries only speak English because you conquered them and forced it onto them, but no need to get into that. The US was formed by British colonists, who obviously spoke English. The US actually doesn’t have an official language though, because we (theoretically) welcome all people and ways of speaking.

I can’t say it never bugs me when Brits add a superfluous “u” after every “o”, but live and let live.

You were the ones who came and removed it, just saying. And plus, we get to write more and it looks neater, don't you agree? And it isn't useless, because if you've heard a British person speak, you'll hear we actually pronounce the 'ou' and not the 'o' like you americans do. With your accents, it'd sound weird if you tried to do the 'ou' thing, but it'd sound weird with our accents if we tried to do the 'o' on it's own thing. It's hard to explain, but there's someone out there who'll understand what I'm saying.

I also just need to say how annoyed this comment made me.

I’m not a linguist, so I might be wrong, but I believe that there were not formal spelling rules yet when our nations split. Back in the day, people just spelled things in whatever way looked best. Once spelling became more formalized, the Brits stuck “u”s all over the place and the Americans didn’t.

I mean, thanks for spoiling my history lessons ig. I mean, not like I was looking forward to them or anything smh.

I totally understand you about the "ou" thing. But as far as Britain giving us the language, did you read what I said about cave men?

You should know your own history. Particularly your own nation’s bloody history of conquest and oppression. Not that I’m judging. American history is pretty ugly too.

DID ANYONE SEE WHAY I SAID ABOUT CAVEMEN?

Uh.. well, last time I checked, my homeschooling books haven't covered that yet. In fact, I don't think it's appropriate for me to learn about that at my age.

If you’re old enough to be posting on here, you’re old enough to know the basics, if not the fine details.

Uh, actually you don't know my current situation. It's very innapropriate for me to learn about that sort of stuff. Especially because I know it'll be gory.

And, if you didn't know, fandom is a 13+. British schools - especially when homeschooled - are completely different to american ones.
