Eeyup!

I'm usually surrounded by English-speakers with all kinds of accents, so I tend not to have trouble with that. It's definitely hard for me to discern different accents for other languages though. I can't understand Mexican Spanish at all, but I don't have much trouble with Spanish from a Spaniard.

Well, Howdy thar Pahtnah! How ya'll doin'? :p

I can typically understand British people. The only times I ever got confused were the first time I heard "Zebra Crossing" and I have heard "Aluminum" said very differently.

That's because it's "aluminium." The US calls it "aluminum" for some reason I've not understood since I learned of it...

American English is completely baffling to me. Not only are their changes in spelling and pronunciation nonsensical they are also completely pointless. It's like they changed it just so they could claim it, as America loves stealing things from other people.

Oh...I did spell it wrong. Oops. Well...I'll just pronounce it "A-loo-mi-num" since that's how I've been pronouncing it my whole life.

Someone's bitter...I think the reason may be something more like: After America got it's independence from England, they wanted to have as little to do with England as possible. Then again, I wasn't alive back then, so I don't know.

its like also like with Colour why take out the u

Just tired. But yeah, a little bitter, you get a lot of people on the Internet who act like American English is the 'correct' way to spell and that just pisses me off. I hate Americanisations.

It is such a pointless and unnecessary change. It doesn't even fit the pronunciation better.

i know its pointless deffently when i came to sega having to make 2 diffrent sonic Colour logos for the game US and UK

Any large amount of belligerence towards American English vs British English or vice-versa that I'm seeing seems to have huge racist overtones to it. A speaker of one dialect will obviously think of other dialects as strange-sounding, but saying that differences in American English proves that Americans love to steal things? That's not only absurd, it's offensive and insensible. Feel as you will about "color" vs "colour" or what have you, but if you want to insult an entire people for the language they speak, take it elsewhere.
