    Ok then, continue to spell words incorrectly.

    Eh, British English has way more messy bits since it was totally natural for so long. American English has had quite a bit of tinkering.

    Incidentally:

    Our : OW-err as Colour : Cuh-lOW-err vs. Or : ore as Color : Cuh-lore
    In my experience people don't say 'Cuh-lOW-err,' they say Cuh-lore, despite the version of English they speak.

    Also, if meter is metre, shouldn't alabaster be alabastre?

    As well, mum =/= mother. There's no 'u' in mother, there's an 'o,' hence 'mom.'

    Your example doesn't make much sense. An ellipses means that there is a break in thought and speech, that you will be making a new statement afterwards.

    @Link I don't think 'stirp' is an actual word, I think he misspelled strip.

    I don't know why the correct version of the English language is written like that, it just is. Anyway, the original is always best. I would construct a proper argument, but I can't be bothered. Even if I did, you'd win, as your intelligence surpasses mine, by a lot.

    Centre not Center. That is all.

    Well, at least in Dutch, if you'd say something like "I don't want no banana", you'd say "I want a banana". I don't know the term for it, and as I suck at explaining, I can't imagine I'm making myself very clear...

    I thought you meant a literal ellipses. Double negatives exist in English as well, but "I don't want no banana," is not proper speech anyways.
