That tire fell right on his face! I hope he wasn't hurt too bad from that tire! The title is a little misleading; I thought he was going to drop a tire on his own head! Next you're going to tell us that aluminum is spelled aluminium, or airplane is spelled aeroplane. |

Don't worry Kel. You have to remember that most Americans can't read and have never been outside of their own hometown. |

Just goes to show how many ignorant people there are out there not to learn that things are spelt different elsewhere. That's what happens when the English language gets Americanised.  |

The reason that many words have been shortened in America is because when the telegraph/telegram was invented in the 1800's, people were charged by the letter to send them. The correct spelling of words was adopted after continued use, so in many cases, the English spelling is correct. Common examples are aluminium, colour, flavour, favourite. What's really scary is that with a whole generation of brats texting, we are bound to see words commonly mis-spelled in the future.  "Ur" is an ancient city in Mesopotamia, dickheads!!!!!! |

Yet in Canada, it's somewhere inbetween the 2. "Favourite" it how it's spelled here, but we also spell "tire" with the i. Pretty much like our erntie culture almost. Somewhere inbetween English and American, with no real defining sense of indentity. (speaking about Toronto there mostly, not so much Canada in it's entire.)
