American, at least the part when it comes to spelling individual words, is annoying.
I think I am going to start subtly slipping in “English (Simplified)” next to the American flag on all web forms and language selection screens that let you pick which language to use.
Which brings up the question: If your educational system makes a concerted effort to simplify a language in various ways, does that then make the user of the language have a simpler frame of mind?
Orwell postulated this position.
I wonder if the American education system is, without realising it, doing the same to its own populace.
