>>Ja, der imitiert Travis korrigierte sein eigenes Deutsch da.<<

Du weißt kein Deutsch, wie das wäre, "der imitiertE Travis"; du kopiertest das Wort "imitiert" aus einem deutschen Wörterbuch und klebtest einfach es, ohne es zu deklinieren.

>>Warum sterben Sie zuerst nicht?<<

Weil ich kein Troll zum Unterschied von dir bin.

The Great Noah Webster

>>We owe a great deal of gratitude to Mr. Noah Webster who organized his first American dictionary in 1806. He changed British English on his own accord without the consent of anyone. He took the "our" of "colour" and changed it to "color" and other words having "our." He changed "plough" to "plow," "cheque" to "check," along with other changes. Frontier Americans added Indian words, immigrants from all over the world contributed their share. American English has made many changes over the years and continues to change. New meanings are arriving daily as new technologies are devised. My word processor still does not recognize "fax" as a word. My large dictionary of 1992 does not contain "Internet." We live in a rapidly changing world and it is up to us to accept those changes and continue to grow with them.<<

British spellings in the U.S. Constitution include "defence" and "labour".
At that time, spelling in the U.S. had not been standardized yet.
In the first sentence of the constitution, it says:
"provide for the common defence".

LOL, funny to see how upset some peole get over the fact there is British spelling in the American constitution!
The Norwegian constitution, written in 1814 and greatly inpsired by the American one, was written in perfect Danish and amendments to the consitution are still written in pseudo-Danish!
