From the year 1999 till this year, there have been a total of 12 Scripps National Spelling Bee in the US, one every year. Of the 12, eight have been won by Indian-Americans.
Be they be Americanized and use en-US, I prefer the British English and the spellings rather than the American versions. This does cause problems because most IT programs and coding use the American spellings like ‘color’ and ‘center’; but I prefer the British.
Whatever is my personal preference, this new spelling of School is taking it too far.
Crews painted "shcool" on the approach road to Southern Guilford High School, North Carolina.
I mean, I can understand something like this in China,
or in Japan
or even in definitely back home,
but in the US?
:-P
