Talk:Comparison of American and British English
 | This article is about both American and British English. So this article quotes both. The parts of this article that are not quoting the differences in American and British English should not use the spellings that are not common to both types of English (realise, realize). The Manual of Style says that this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
This page fails the tests of bias and universality. It is a "project" page based on one editor's view.
The title and content are too narrow, and the content too Americo-centered. By drawing the scope so narrow, the page ignores the important use of English in Australia, New Zealand, and in India and Africa (where it is still an important language). Details of spelling are not so important, and can be ignored. Apart from former colonies, the use of English is common in Europe amongst educated people. It is the world's most widespread commercial language, and is the basis of a number of pigin languages. I also think the notice above is ridiculous. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:35, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- I think I'll have a second go at this one. The changes in American English were heavily influenced by the ideas of Noah Webster. He was the main influence for the "reform" of English-language spelling. Macdonald-ross (talk) 08:52, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
