The television was invented by John Logie Baird (Scottish)

And the first motorised vehicle was invented by a french engineer in 1769 (here)

Damn yanks can't even get their facts right lol
Maybe thats why any film based on an ounce of historical evidence is hugely biased to the americans being the hero's...

Americans speak American English not English, they will refer to Webster whilst we refer to Oxford English Dictionary. How they choose to bastardise words (not bastardize, there is a difference) is really their own affair, there is no right or proper way to spell it per se. If you live in America it is color if you live in the UK it's colour.

Standardisation has only occured in the last few hundred years, languages are in a constant state of flux, before there used to be far more variants regionally let alone trans-continent.

Whilst the above is a reasoned argument, my gut instincts really say "ffs you dumb morons it's C-O-L-O-U-R!!" however my niceness prevents me from doing that.

ooops:p

English orignated from England so i feel that british english is the correct english. When drake (?) founded the usa english was brought over there, because of culture english changed and leave the ''u'' out of words containing ''our'' and ''re'' to ''er''.

I personally find american english kinda lazy and it gets used even more by people today. The only person i know that speaks british english are the 1s that are from england.
