I can’t take anyone seriously who spells centre as center.

I think Gen Z call this “an ick”?

u/savvy_Idgit 12d ago

They are both correct although ironically, center is American English. I thought it was the other way round, dang.

Who cares? It's language. I personally hope we can settle on something consistent so there's less confusion. Don't care if it's American or British.

English is from England

Spanish is from Spain, you don't see Spaniards correcting Mexicans when they say "celular" instead of "teléfono" nor saying they are inherently wrong

“Cellular” is a stupid word for a mobile phone

u/SomePyro_9012 Spain 9d ago

You think that because you don't know the history behind it

Just as I think "Macca's" is a weird nickname for McDonald's

u/TheAussieTico Australia 9d ago

I do know the history though

What, "color" and "gray" are incorrect too?

u/juanito_f90 10d ago

Yes.

Colour. Grey.

u/SomePyro_9012 Spain 10d ago

So you consider the spelling differences in American English to be inherently wrong?

u/juanito_f90 10d ago

Yes, correct.
