I have lived in other parts of the world and I'm not some gun-toting patriotic redneck that thinks America is better than everyone else. There's technically no such thing as a correct language because language evolves. You can have a set standard of a language that you follow, and that's great. But again I don't see why we can't respect all standards. Is it really that hard? I mean if you guys are so hardline about it, why don't you guys create a sister project for American English? As I have said again and again, it was done for the portuguese speaking micronation community.

I guess you're the one who decides what arguments can be accepted and not accepted, despite the fact that you greatly lack an argument for keeping the the British only rule.

I thought Microwiki was suppose to become more professional and user friendly... You would think that fairness among users would be part of that.

Two users who have learned British english as a second language means nothing. How about you tell them to go learn all of the rules to American english, after having already had to learn the rules of British English. Sabovia, because that would be a fair comparison. Of course, you don't care about what is fair and what isn't.

Great, the British Empire conquered the world and almost all of its once colonized regions now teach British English. Well guess what? In calculating the amount of people who primarilly speak and use english, American English is most oftenly used and is become more and more preffered. Now you'll say, most people on microwiki are British or happen to prefer British english so it doesn't matter how many people in the world speak/use American English. If you decide to go through with that statement, it would then be reasonable to make your comment that British English is most widely taught as invalid. I don't see how my "it's the most taught" argument will be invalidated by the fact the most of our users are British. Your entire argument is based on "I can't be bothered". I have aspegers (I bet I will be banned for having a disorder with a funny name), so I'm not exactley good at valid arguments. But, this is just in my mind, I think you want British English only because that's what you speak Sabovia! Nope, I honestly don't mind either way, hence why I've liked every argument I feel is valid, if I wanted British English only I wouldn't have opened this thread.

The only reason I'm defending British English is because I feel the arguments against it are weak, and not because I'm British.

I could also turn your own argument against you, you don't want a British English rule because you're American, which you've even stated. See? That argument against me doesn't work. Well played.
