I find British English more natural than American English.

For example I catch myself writing "behaviour" instead of "behavior". I can't explain it. Spelling it behaviour just seems more natural.

"Colour" is another one. I'd rather spell color, colour because it makes it easier for be to distinguish colour from collar. I don't know why.

I always spell grey, "grey". The American version is "gray".

And most recently because of YouTube I watch a lot of math videos and due to the British (and Australian) content creators they use the term "maths" instead of "math". Now "maths" is beginning to seem more natural to me.

I thought we killed a bunch of those limey fricks a couple centuries ago so we could stop putting random U’s in words?

Does that extra letter make any sense? Sounds more natural.

Except when you say sucking on a fig. That never means cigarette.

Spelling aside, British english and their accents are all bullshite to try and sound higher class than others. It's all a ruse and they forget to keep it up when singing.
