British vs American English

#5
American English isn't incorrect because it's a new dialect. Let me give an example.

In England, "schedule" is pronounced as "shedyule." In America, it's "skedchyule." Shedyule is by far the more proper pronunciation given the spelling of schedule.

Generally I prefer British English though. But while American English may not be entirely "correct", it's still not awful. English in general is outdated and needs an update, I think. Silent vowels and "debt" and "doubt is why. Why the latins had to latinize dett and dowt, who knows..
