Today, I realised that I die a little bit inside whenever Microsoft Word tries to “correct” properly spelled English (e.g. colour), MLIB

    Why don’t you just change the setting to English (UK) rather than English (US) ??

    you do know American and English are two different languages? i think Microsoft Word should respect that. Im American, and we can mispell whatever words we want. I actually just mispelled mispell cuz i’m so bad at spelling.

    Umm…Microsoft was made by an American so obviously, words would be spelled the American way. There’s nothing wrong with that.

    Umm, excuse me, ‘x3xochix35′, but American and English are most certainly not two different languages. If your country wants its own language, then go ahead and make your own. Don’t just make silly adaptations on the already fine English language and then name it ‘American’ or ‘English (US)’. THERE IS NO SUCH LANGUAGE AS ENGLISH (US).
    And give us Cadbury’s back. It was outrageous of you to steal it in the first place.
