Don't give me any of that "Americans" nonsense. I meant exactly what I said when I said it. The whole of the language is misspelled, and the lion's share of that belongs to the Britons. If it didn't, we would still be talking like þær æt hyðe stod, which I just copied from Beowulf. If Europeans were any good at spelling, we would still be saying that. Aluminum was discovered and named by an American. The Britons renamed it within their borders for parallelism. You completely missed the point of my argument, dear.
