Americans: Spell words differently, but still call it "English."
Brits: Pronounce their words differently, but still call it "English."
Canadians: Spell like the Brits, pronounce like Americans.
Aussies: Add "G'day", "mate," and a heavy accent to everything they say.
Alot of truth...

I don't mind that the Americans spell words differently and have even got used to spelling the American way because Microsoft Word will tell you that the Canadian spelling is wrong! What I don't like about American English is the way some Americans (Depending on where they live in the states) pronounce "O"s and "A"s.

Words that really irritate me: " BAAston" , "HAAckey", "PAAss"
