It's actually their language. They can still do whatever they want with "English".

I find it hilarious that they use the "C" word like we use the word a-hole or fricker. I had a buddy who went back to visit family and he came back and every other word was the "C".. With the extra CHHUU!

Because Britain is controlled by the global ink cartridge and type setters cartel. That extra U is worth billions in ink.

Noah Webster decided to Americanize as many words as he could when he was writing his first American dictionary.

It was his favourite way to thumb his nose at the limeys.
