 [2014-07-26 23:42:45] &lt;Sabovia&gt; My page is not in British English because the rule has only been enforced for 5 days (or so), and I haven't had time. [2014-07-26 23:42:45] &lt;UCS123&gt; Even if you were correct- wouldn't that just show how ridiculous the rule is? [2014-07-26 23:43:05] -!- Sabovia has left Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:43:17] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; No, I would assume that someone else who speaks American English, wrongly "corrected" the spelling of words on your page. [2014-07-26 23:43:31] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; And not that you were at fault. [2014-07-26 23:43:33] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:44:07] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; By the way UCS, I have corrected your article. It was just 2 words that needed to be corrected, but It is important, as rules are rules. [2014-07-26 23:44:29] -!- Sabovia has left Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:44:49] &lt;UCS123&gt; I think it makes microwiki more unappealing [2014-07-26 23:44:58] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; And Sabovia, as it turns out, just about every word in My nation's article is spelled exactly the same in both Dialects, so I did not even need to change anything. :D [2014-07-26 23:45:23] &lt;UCS123&gt; We should be user friendly and allow to write in general english. [2014-07-26 23:45:52] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; I wish that was the case. However, it is nice to have some consistency in spelling. I am almost glad for the rule. [2014-07-26 23:47:07] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:47:15] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Welcome back friend. o/ [2014-07-26 23:47:21] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Ah :D [2014-07-26 23:47:42] &lt;UCS123&gt; Favourite, favorite. Color, colour. Why does it matter? [2014-07-26 23:47:47] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:48:07] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; It sounds a little better, in my opinion. British English may as well be my Favourite. ;) [2014-07-26 23:48:12] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Heh, heheh [2014-07-26 23:48:30] &lt;Sabovia&gt; The rule on British English cannot and shall not be removed, as it was voted on by the entire team at MicroWiki Foundation. [2014-07-26 23:48:42] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:49:05] &lt;UCS123&gt; let me guess, the majority of the people on this team use british english [2014-07-26 23:49:08] &lt;UCS123&gt; How lovely [2014-07-26 23:49:09] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; You know Sabovia, I was at first Infuriated by this Rule. However, as I learned to live with it, I grew to like it and accept it. [2014-07-26 23:49:14] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Strange how that works. [2014-07-26 23:49:25] &lt;Sabovia&gt; UCS: No, actually, alot of them are American. [2014-07-26 23:49:33] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:49:43] &lt;UCS123&gt; I have no problem with british english. I use to live in ireland for crying out loud LOL. [2014-07-26 23:49:48] &lt;UCS123&gt; Really?! [2014-07-26 23:50:01] &lt;UCS123&gt; What was their reasoning for to make it a rule [2014-07-26 23:50:13] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Because it was the "correct English", apparently. [2014-07-26 23:50:23] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:50:24] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Yes. I agree completely with them. [2014-07-26 23:50:35] &lt;UCS123&gt; hahaha that's some b*llsh*t [2014-07-26 23:50:38] &lt;UCS123&gt; language evolves [2014-07-26 23:50:45] &lt;Sabovia&gt; It's also the most taught. [2014-07-26 23:50:55] &lt;Sabovia&gt; And spoken, I believe. [2014-07-26 23:51:03] &lt;UCS123&gt; Depends [2014-07-26 23:51:03] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:51:16] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; By the way Sabovia, I hope that my recent week-long absence from MicroWiki will not affect my... [2014-07-26 23:51:19] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; "Prospects" [2014-07-26 23:51:22] &lt;Sabovia&gt; UC: However much you protest, the rule shall remain. [2014-07-26 23:51:26] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; If you know what I mean. [2014-07-26 23:51:28] &lt;Sabovia&gt; No, it shouldn't. [2014-07-26 23:51:32] &lt;Sabovia&gt; And yes, I do. [2014-07-26 23:51:32] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Good, good. [2014-07-26 23:51:39] &lt;UCS123&gt; The problem though is that you can't enforce it [2014-07-26 23:51:44] -!- KingLloyd has left Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:51:50] &lt;UCS123&gt; I don't know all the rules of british english [2014-07-26 23:51:53] &lt;UCS123&gt; I was never taught them [2014-07-26 23:51:58] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:52:11] &lt;Sabovia&gt; We can enforce it. [2014-07-26 23:52:13] &lt;Sabovia&gt; And we have. [2014-07-26 23:52:20] &lt;Sabovia&gt; By using bots that correct the spelling. [2014-07-26 23:52:39] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Sabovia, I apologise for being so narcissistically insistent on that position. [2014-07-26 23:52:41] &lt;Sabovia&gt; A few users reverted it, but apologized after their warnings. [2014-07-26 23:52:48] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:53:19] &lt;Sabovia&gt; UC, then it's the perfect time to learn. [2014-07-26 23:53:29] &lt;UCS123&gt; It's not useful [2014-07-26 23:53:34] &lt;Sabovia&gt; It will be easier if you set your Spell Check to "BrEng". [2014-07-26 23:53:34] &lt;UCS123&gt; And i don't have the time to learn [2014-07-26 23:53:40] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:53:42] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Ai ai ai, this "Athenian Federation" Girl messaged you, Sabovia. [2014-07-26 23:53:43] &lt;UCS123&gt; I can't do that [2014-07-26 23:53:49] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Why not? [2014-07-26 23:53:58] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; I can show you how to do that, UCS [2014-07-26 23:54:07] &lt;UCS123&gt; I have papers and stuff to write here. In America. I will get marked off in school for writing this way [2014-07-26 23:54:10] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:54:21] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Why on earth would that happen? [2014-07-26 23:54:30] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; You must have stubborn teachers. [2014-07-26 23:54:35] &lt;UCS123&gt; It happened to my sister actually when she moved schools going from ireland to the US [2014-07-26 23:54:36] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Do you write your reports in Word? [2014-07-26 23:54:43] &lt;Sabovia&gt; or online? [2014-07-26 23:54:47] &lt;UCS123&gt; I don't have word [2014-07-26 23:54:50] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:54:51] &lt;UCS123&gt; i have a chromebook [2014-07-26 23:54:56] &lt;UCS123&gt; everything is google drive [2014-07-26 23:54:59] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Ah, well, can't help you. [2014-07-26 23:55:32] &lt;Sabovia&gt; But all articles need to be written in British English. [2014-07-26 23:55:32] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:55:33] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Chromebook..? What on earth is that? Is it some sort of futuristic pornographic magazine? *apologies for that* [2014-07-26 23:55:44] &lt;UCS123&gt; As long as I don't get penalized [2014-07-26 23:56:09] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Your article being in American English is not a banable offense while I'm in charge. [2014-07-26 23:56:10] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:56:11] &lt;UCS123&gt; hahaha chromebooks are essentially google based laptops [2014-07-26 23:56:17] &lt;Sabovia&gt; However refusing to write your article in British English is. [2014-07-26 23:56:23] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:56:39] &lt;Sabovia&gt; That seems fair, does it not? [2014-07-26 23:56:42] &lt;UCS123&gt; I can't entirely refuse. [2014-07-26 23:56:47] &lt;UCS123&gt; Even if i wanted [2014-07-26 23:56:54] &lt;UCS123&gt; Because I don't know it lol [2014-07-26 23:57:15] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; I knew that, UCS. If you did not already know, Despite my Autism, I can actually understand sarcasm, and use it on a regular basis. Odd how that works, honestly. [2014-07-26 23:57:16] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-26 23:57:20] &lt;UCS123&gt; And I know I'm not the only one on microwiki who doesn't know british english [2014-07-26 23:57:38] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Help:English [2014-07-26 23:57:44] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Ahaaa...

[2014-07-26 23:59:50] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; What? [2014-07-26 23:59:54] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; What is that? [2014-07-27 00:00:06] &lt;UCS123&gt; And I've never heard of anti-clockwise [2014-07-27 00:00:18] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; I'm from Florida, and where I'm from, it's known as Baseball. [2014-07-27 00:00:27] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; And Counter-Clockwise. [2014-07-27 00:00:46] &lt;UCS123&gt; Well you can't use those terms according to the new british english rule [2014-07-27 00:00:53] &lt;UCS123&gt; it's rounders and anti-clockwise [2014-07-27 00:00:59] &lt;UCS123&gt; ;) [2014-07-27 00:01:28] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; That, my friend, is absolute horse cleavage. [2014-07-27 00:01:36] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; XD I just made that up. [2014-07-27 00:02:26] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:03:00] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Really Sabovia? Baseball now has to be Rounders? That sounds like a cheap game you'd play at a bar. [2014-07-27 00:03:15] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Not the American Pastime. [2014-07-27 00:03:16] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:03:29] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; My apologies if that is mis-spelled. [2014-07-27 00:03:35] &lt;UCS123&gt; So this british english rule, does it  just include spelling or does it also include terminology [2014-07-27 00:03:35] &lt;Sabovia&gt; I'm sorry, didn't I make myself clear? All articles MUST be written in British English, THAT is British English. [2014-07-27 00:03:59] &lt;UCS123&gt; According to my british english speaking sources on facebook [2014-07-27 00:04:01] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:04:04] &lt;Sabovia&gt; I don't see how we can enforce a British English rule without enforcing it's spelling. [2014-07-27 00:04:05] &lt;UCS123&gt; Rounders is british slang [2014-07-27 00:04:09] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Nope. [2014-07-27 00:04:12] &lt;Sabovia&gt; It's the British word for it. [2014-07-27 00:04:18] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Sabovia... [2014-07-27 00:04:22] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; that is the same thing./ [2014-07-27 00:04:28] &lt;UCS123&gt; You guys don't even play baseball [2014-07-27 00:04:32] &lt;UCS123&gt; i mean im sure some do [2014-07-27 00:04:34] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Yes, but that's the British term for it. [2014-07-27 00:04:35] &lt;UCS123&gt; but really? [2014-07-27 00:04:42] &lt;Sabovia&gt; British English applies to spelling. [2014-07-27 00:04:46] &lt;Sabovia&gt; And terms. [2014-07-27 00:05:10] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:05:18] &lt;UCS123&gt; Well now you're expecting the impossible [2014-07-27 00:05:45] &lt;Sabovia&gt; I honestly don't see how we can enforce a British English rule without enforcing British spelling, that's the entire point of it. [2014-07-27 00:05:49] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Now, this matter is closed. [2014-07-27 00:05:52] &lt;UCS123&gt; I'm not going out of my way to look for every single british english exception for every little thing i say on microwiki [2014-07-27 00:05:55] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:05:56] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Although I am afraid I have to accept that, I will continue to regard that term as a Cheap Game you'd find at a Bar, and complete and utter ridiculousness. [2014-07-27 00:06:04] &lt;UCS123&gt; I'm not arguing the spelling [2014-07-27 00:06:11] &lt;UCS123&gt; I'm arguing now about the word choice [2014-07-27 00:06:13] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Again, this matter is closed. [2014-07-27 00:06:47] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:07:02] &lt;Sabovia&gt; BTW: The rule applies on articles ONLY. [2014-07-27 00:07:07] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Sabovia, look at the situation this way: Americans should have the right to use American Terms. Even if they are spelled using British English, I think the terms "Baseball" and "Counter-clockwise" are completely Optional. [2014-07-27 00:07:12] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Not blogs, not threads, not messages. [2014-07-27 00:07:23] &lt;Sabovia&gt; Now, this matter is closed. [2014-07-27 00:07:29] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:07:42] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; All right then. I understand completely. This matter is closed. [2014-07-27 00:08:08] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:08:14] &lt;Sabovia&gt; You are free to submit your concerns on my wall. [2014-07-27 00:08:56] &lt;UCS123&gt; Apply the dynamics of this whole issue and conversation to a world scale and WOW, now you see why the world is effed up [2014-07-27 00:09:00] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:09:21] -!- UCS123 has left Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:09:26] -!- Sabovia has left Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:09:29] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:09:36] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; UCS, this matter is closed. Or rather it is cloused, in British English. [2014-07-27 00:09:43] &lt;Sabovia&gt; No. [2014-07-27 00:09:44] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; I'm only joking about that one. XD [2014-07-27 00:09:46] &lt;Sabovia&gt; It's closed. [2014-07-27 00:09:54] &lt;Sabovia&gt; I warned him more than once. [2014-07-27 00:10:21] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:10:22] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; Oh come on Sabovia, Lighten up. I enjoy it when you are happy. :) [2014-07-27 00:10:39] &lt;OrangeHills&gt; This trivial issue should not affect anything. [2014-07-27 00:11:07] -!- Sabovia has joined Special:Chat [2014-07-27 00:11:17] &lt;Sabovia&gt; If you ignore warnings, it's your fault.
