American Game therefore American Spelling. Deal with it.

A relevant study done by ANET Institute of English Language and Dialects shows this will motivate English GW players to be more interested in playing than just leeching or Botting... NOT.

At least you could make me laugh for a change.

The English have a wide history of tolerance of other cultures apart from their own.

Savior is Saviour whether it's spelled with or without a U. It bothers me when I see misspellings, but if I were playing a British game I wouldn't be bothered by the way that the words are spelled there. There are several forums that I go to based in Europe where they don't have the 'American' option when you're picking your language, and I don't really care when I see favour instead of favor.

While it would be a nice change for those that are affected by it, I think that at this point it's a very superfluous fix for a very minimal problem.

To 251 million of us, it looks correct.

This exactly.

Although I am British and I would prefer the words to indeed have a "u" in them, it's something I tolerate (as a programmer I have to thanks to M$ and poorly set-up company's systems for this).

What I would like to see is correct spelling and grammar from players within the game.

"U R SO PR0", "U B GONE B4 I GT BCK?" are examples of that which really get to me. Height of laziness, leet speak and the likes - it's this I would love to see changed.

Cue AreaNet with their new auto-correction system to change "U" to "you", "b4" to "before"....

If only

But this would really push the laziness boat out to deepest waters...

That's just the thing though, it isn't in any way shape or form a problem...

This game is based in America, the spelling is American how hard can this be.

Epic reasoning! If we all resorted to using that in life, it'd be called: "Doom's Day".

DarkGanni · Apr 21, 2009, 09:56 PM // 21:56

My language isn't even listed in the menu. Should I be jealous of both american and UK then? Ofc Not. As already been said and to me you're making this big fuss for one letter.

PS: thanks Luminarus for posting the best reason :P

Americans are making the game, they're obviously going to use American spelling. It's not a bad reasoning at all.

It should be spelled accordingly to where you live.

Those who make their game in accordance with their everyday way of life have no obligation in changing it.
It's like with games that do not come from the United States, they spell things different with things like "u" in them or the "re" instead of "er".
And guess what? People in America still play them, my oh my... I don't see much of a problem if we deal with it just fine.

Don't care. BioWare games get the spelling correct; I'm alright with a lesser dev like Anet not managing it.

/notsigned, more important stuff to be done

Fix Spawning Power now, please.

Pan Head · Apr 22, 2009, 02:32 AM // 02:32

Of all the things in this game that could use a little help and this is what you complain about.

Empress Amarox · Apr 22, 2009, 04:22 AM // 04:22

Well, being American and all... Seeing the British spellings myself annoys me to no end. I mean, quite honestly I think they're just retarded. Then again, that's just because of the way I was taught.

As such, I'd say were I in your situation, I'd probably feel the same, except reverse; so, adding British English isn't a horrible idea -- just keep it away from me. :P

Chance of this happening though, realistically?

Not high on the totem poll of "things to do" for Anet, me thinks...
