Heard of America?
As much as america likes to believe it does everything right and everyone else is wrong. Its not.

America does everything differently than the rest of the world. Americans don't seem to realize this though.

Its like that one kid in the group who thinks hes better than everyone else and is right and their wrong but in reality he is just a stubborn oddball.

With that said,
I don't understand the nomination.

On behalf of America, I'll take the metric system if you take Americanized spelling.

The color-blind nomination comes from the somewhat forced "Andrius didn't send in his color choices" meme being spread in the Blackest Night signups.

I already do spell like Americans. Seeing as I am americans. I just am aware of how everyone else just isnt like us. And maybe its not that they are bad, but we are bad.

I see.


If I may, can we stop with all the random nominations? I'm referring to stuff like

QFT. I love metric. "Standard" is retarded. The numbers are all completely arbitrary. But British spelling is even more retarded. You just add extra letters in at random points in your words and it's horrific.

Why not have the best of both worlds?

I mean, that's what happens in Canada, for the most part.

We use Metric system, and our schools taught both spellings of contested words.

Yay for being a British colony, AND being America's hat!

Darnit Canada! You make things to simple and easy. We are men! We have to make things as difficult and time consuming as possible! :P

Because we were a British colony...?

Until 1982...? (Officially when we Repatriated our constitution from the U.K)

Don't see how that makes a difference. There's still no point to knowing both of them. Pick one and teach it.

Because we have a history with the country...

and their queen is still technically our head of state..?

This isn't the place to be having this argument is it...?

True on the third point, so I won't argue the first two points.

Seriously. Read your role PM before playing.
I am sorry if you have to prod me, I have absolutely no concept of time.

My prefered pronoun set is "cie/cir/cirs[elf]" but they is more than acceptable.
