	Um, no. Contemporary British English is neither more correct, more original, nor older than contemporary American English. Both are equally venerable and legitimate descendants of the English that was spoken in England before America was colonized by the English. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

No shit Sherlock. But just for clarification, the point that I was trying to make with this comment, is that British English is still accepted as correct, especially since the language did originate in England. Therefore it is stupid for someone to say that their version of the language is wrong.

To put it another way, it's not any less correct than American spelling simply because it doesn't follow the standards that Noah Webster developed for the American writing system.
