Although we kid Americans about their 'weird' spellings,  they are correct 
17th century English spellings. All those 'our' endings are  Victorian 
bullshit creations that had nothing to do with 'English'. Similarly,  I was 
taught that 'proper' grammar meant that one 'does not end a sentence  with a 
preposition.Although we kid Americans about their 'weird' spellings,  they are

'To be or not  to be.'

Cheers; it was great to see athletes and fans from around the  world as our 
guests.



Language evolves and it's healthy that it does so.  Nothing stays the  same 
forever and even glancing at a British newspaper from 30 years ago reveals  
a stangely archaic style of writing.  I personally like the fact that  
'bastard' was much more offensive 300 years ago than the infamous C word.   So 
much so that in good old Londinium there was a street called Grope Cunt Lane  
frequented by prostitutes.
