haha that’s sweet… not to be a grammar nazi, but im pretty sure ‘organisation’ is mispelled-(organization)

Actually, ‘organization’ is correct… They spell it with an S in the UK, which is where this was written. Looks like history has repeated itself and the Nazi got beaten by the British.

This. Is. Amazing.

nice work.. :)

oddly enough the “s” has become accepted as an alternative spelling of the word
just sayin

Uhrr sorry, but… uhr.. there’s this place on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean called Great Britain. We spell things correctly here.

Amazing Pure amazing

yes in fact colour is the correct spelling, not color, for the whole of the lazy fat slobby american race who cannot be bothered to spell words correctly if it means adding an extra letter, or are just too plain stupid for the most part to comprehend the complexities of English. wait is that english, as in from england? oh yeah it is, were’re the ones who made it shut the fu*k up stupid fu*king americans

difference between US and UK English…

fyi, Canada spells it the right way (ie, with a u in them) as well. The US is all alone with its spelling fail.

actually technically the french crafted modern british english making you a french speaking bastard

I just have to say that I found this entire conversation intriguing! I like how even though the student(s) (possibly more than one person working on this) created an amazing piece of work (that is completely and utterly hilarious, I had to hold in my laughter during my Functional Anatomy class), and probably worked late throughout the night, some people have the nerve to try and correct his/her “mistakes.”

Let’s do everyone in the world a favor (favour) and look something up if you “think you know something about something” and want to harass or bash them about it.

Now I found the differences between the American English and British English to be fascination, so before I decided to comment I thought I might look up some information relating to the topic! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences Look at that! Two different dialects. Two different spellings. No one is “wrong” in the spelling because a language is what the people make it to be.

Ignorant, ethnocentric children should not be on the internet bashing people from other countries. “My country is better than yours because our spelling of THIS word is correct!!” Oh wow, I think I just saw the internet hit a new low.

On a brighter note I think that your project was great! I hope you got an excellent grade on it!

Besides the extra u is so unnecessary, it has no effect on how the word is pronounced. Americans are just more efficient.

This is America, we speak American. If you don’t like it you can geett oout

Not to be a vocabulary Nazi, but you misspelled the word ‘mispell’

Check your own “English”, it has mistakes too, and swearing just shows you do not have an eclectic vocabulary. Be an educated individual and make yourself sound intelligent.

And United States needed the french guys to become United States

this essay cleverly rickrolled all of us readers too.

Why generalize ALL Americans as ‘stupid’ or ‘fat’ !! For your information, all of the powerful prosperous nations such as Brittan and France and the US are full of fat people because we all have more money and stuff to get more food than we really need.

You can’t take every individual from a country and call them all stupid. That makes you another mainstream bigot who probably enjoys Justin Beiber tunes.

The American spelling is wrong… However, great paper!!

UK Spelling FTW

So the fact that it took a whole country to kill a single man makes you better than everyone else?
I’m not against America in any way, in fact I have both relatives and very close friends in USA, which if I had to generalize the whole country just from them, I’d say it’s much better than where I live. :)

using wikipedia as a source? totally american

Please don’t be so offensive. I’m from America, and while I make a point to spell words in British English, like ‘colour’ because I think they look better that way, I admit that the variations are different dialects of English, American and British, not ‘lazy fat slobby americans’ who are ‘too plain stupid to comprehend the complexities of English’. Thank you.

Maybe we should have left our “lazy fat slobby American” asses at home in the 40′s and let England learn to speak German.
Don’t you have some meat to boil or something? So sorry you are “too stupid to comprehend the complexities” of cooking decent food.

I thought it was the Scots that noone could understand?

To deny the development and progression of written and spoken word is a very sad thing indeed. Look where we’ve come since Shakespeare!!!!. If the future is “omg, lol and m8″ then let it be. We think we feel liberated, yet cling so tightly to the things we think we know. We shall soon be the bigoted grandparents stuck in our ways, with whippersnappers running round speaking all fruity! Why can’t we just realise that we’re all just wasting time till we die anyway, and help one another out as brothers of the world.! There is no external form of judgement. Just A collection of alternate perceptions, entitled: Society! I dont Want to oppress. I want to feel reassured by my fellow man. Time will elapse, and we do slip further to the grave. Make your moments Count. 0

So you should too. You set him up with all his wealth and power. You turned him into Public Enemy # 2 (George W Bush being #1) 

 you say that like you were the one who decided americans should go fight in europe….

there is an american race? man that is stupid…even if you made it doesnt mean it cant be changed. your whole arguement is foolish.color is the correct spelling here.it is crazy but they spell things different in different countries. that doesnt make them “wrong”  crazy foreigners.english is the language used by how many people in the world? it is definately the most used as a 2nd language i would say.why is that i wonder? you people bash on the average american like they cause your problems when they work all that they can to survive.we are the worlds scapegoats. its fine. haters hate.  

organisation is correct, Americans spell it wrong.

I’m a teacher, make sure you understand and respect this teacher of yours. Anyway, this ROCKS!! If you were my student I would ask you to lecture in some other classes, about concentration, creativity and effort. But I do repeat, respect the poor professor, man. Hi, from Brazil.

ignoramus

they are not two separate dialects. wake up, man! it’s just another facet of how your powers-that-be have turned you into a herd of sheep, drunk and fat on convenience

this was hilarious!!!

You’re joking right…? There are countries in the world other than America.

Technically, as English is your mother tongue you, meaning Americans, have misspelt (another English classic) it. Not us.

oh dear. you DO know that American English and British English have two different ways of spelling words right?

lol Work smarter, not harder… that is the American way. ergo, we do NOT add a “U” to each word. Thaut would just be retaurded.

Most of your buddies from the UK called us Americans also. Now that being said, I think anyone who actually fought over something so meaningless and unimportant as the correct spelling of two words should check themselves. The USA has produced many people who have left a great impression upon the world. The same can be said for the UK. Most of your opinions are just a reflection of egocentrism. To judge millions of people based on something so lightweight as the correct spelling of ‘organization’ (US dialect) is not valid. Why can’t you judge us for the things we do right rather than the things we do wrong? The problem with the world is that most people pick out the negative things and judge upon that. All in all, both countries are filled with great people, and not so great people. Instead of fighting about a couple of words, how about we all just get off the computer and not give a fuck. (Yes, I cussed. Am I unintelligent?)

u don’t kno if we would have the balls to say these things face to face bud. eat shit.

You are a self-centered bigot. Now, please notice that I said “you” and not “the entire population of great Britain”. Your generalization is immature, ignorant, and most of all, wrong. Your insults only show me that you garner some form of jealousy towards these “stupid fucking Americans”.

Corrected my arse! You use Z’s that make you sound a bit thick and you seem to dislike the letter U. Jeez. (I’m kidding by the way)

English, not American

Not if youre british.

Good essay, shame about the fucktards leaving comments.  I know we should be letting everyone have their say, Human Right’s and so on. 
But these people are physically making the world dumber.  I personally feel that after reading some of these comments I have lost about 3 grams of brain matter just from the radiating stupidity of some people.
Different countries speak different languages, in the same way that different Counties / States (dependant on which side of the water you are) can have completely different dialects.

If we all spoke the same, did the same this place would be dull as fuck & we would never achieve anything as the human race.

I am English, I speak English – that doesn’t mean I think American is wrong, it means it is a different god damned mother fucking language!

In regards to the comments about the UK hiding behind America – check your history fella, America historically follows where the UK leads, if this is not the case it turns into one almighty clusterfuck.  This is where the UK will then have to come in and clean the military mess up.
BEFORE I get any rants about military might, I am not knocking the Armed forces themselves. America (much like Britain) is run by idiots, we have just had a lot more experience in running empires / countries than Americans do, not to say we do it better it just seems to take a little longer before we fuck it up.

Very amusing! Please be sure to post whether your instructor reacted or not to your work- I am certainly interested in the results of this experiment. :) As a current college student I have to admit that often times I wonder if our instructors/professors review all of the work submitted. Thanks for sharing (and for the smile.)

As for the comments…wow. So much cussing and name calling- neither of which I would deem as intelligent matter. I grew up near Canada and am accustomed to the whole ‘colour,’ ‘cheques,’ etc although utilize what is typically construed as appropriate spelling for American English. There is much to say about dialect; Americans need to consider just the difference in sentence structure, word usage, etc when comparing the different portions of the states, ie North and South. In terms of the British, many of their spellings, which lean towards the elegance of France, per say,  were incorporated from the French. We ALL need to consider how our languages were influenced by other regions/countries as well as the history of the area we are living in.

While sometimes it may be easier if all countries were on the same page in terms of language, spelling, measurements and beyond I like the diversity of cultures. Instead of slamming each other, do some research on the other cultures. I don’t doubt that we all think our ‘home’ is superior but everyone needs to take consideration when making such close minded comments. If you were born elsewhere, I am sure you’d be singing a different tune!

 Your words, and thoughts, are similar to my own. :) People become so focused on being ‘right’ they don’t realize just how WRONG they are. Well said.

I’d just like to add that this is the stupidest fucking thread I have ever seen.

Nice English there you bloody bugger! Piss off…

Hee hee, silly internet people… I’m leaving you to your bickering, enjoying being Dutch. 

Isn’t it a beautiful thing, being able not to care at all? 

Actually, “Organisation” is the original English spelling of the word. It was the Americans that started adding Z’s to everything.

That we are capable only of being what we are remains our unforgivable sin.

Actually, that’s the same as saying Britain was the mother country, so therefore we are British. Not quite. Americans are as different as the language. (I’m kidding as well. in a serious kind of way)

No it isn’t, dumbass. That’s punctuation you’re thinking of.

Well i reckon if the USA has messed up the “olde” English language as much as y’all are are saying then us ignorant southern boys has really butchered it Thank God ..Hear ye, hear ye! How dare ye not speak nor spell correctly whilst using our beloved language.

Depends on whether or not the student is using British English.

The ‘real’ English you speak of, that is, British English, is actually further deviant from the original Saxon than you may believe. As Webster was a hard-line nationalist, and advocate of spelling reform, his dictionary attempted to remove the Latin/French spelling of the words from the language. The state of British English was to be content in carrying on as Frenchmen. You see, it is in fact an oddity that the birthplace of a language is also the home of its perturbation. The problem, then, is not that it is the ‘real’ English, so much as that it is a few hundred years in the making of a new forged Romanized English. But surely, the Empire’s English, by virtue of it’s majority, is indubitably the real English. Or is it Anglais?

In England we use an s in organisation
