Nice overview! The "unfortunately-spelled threat_defence.php" just uses British spelling though.
- richthegeek 10y agoWhat's wrong with British spelling? It's also the English spelling using in India, Australia, New Zealand etc. By pure numbers, more people may spell it defence than defense. Americocentrism is quite annoying from the other side :)
- toxik 10y agoSort of a tangent, but I doubt more people speak and write RE over CE.
- Nadya 10y agoNothing? They were pointing out that the "unfortunately spelled" file is merely using the British way of spelling. I'm wondering how they were misunderstood, given they even used quotations to show they were quoting the article which is the one that made the claim that it was "unfortunately spelled".
- celticninja 10y agoyou are shooting the messenger.
- bla2 10y agoI'm not saying anything's wrong with it. The "unfortunately named" bit is from the article, and I'm just pointing out that the author's snark is ill-placed.
- martin-adams 10y agoWell, I did not know that defense was the American spelling. I spent ages looking at that trying to find out which one was the British and which was the American spelling. You learn something every day.
