Encyc talk:Spelling
Seriously, I think Wikipedia's method for handling this is unworkable. Would it be so terrible to have an encyclopedia entirely written in American English? I think it's very distracting to be constantly switching back and forth. Auggie 03:07, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

- I must admit I don't always know what the American spelling of a word is. And of course there's also the issue of when the meanings of words differ between American and English English.--Babbage 09:22, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- Actually I was just inspired by the biscuit/cookie edit war over on Wikipedia: Vienna Fingers. Not a case of lack of understanding. More like a game of keep away. Auggie 11:48, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
