International English.
Supposably, Americans could care less that other English-speaking countries are closer to en-GB than en-US, despite the relentless onslaught of inconsiderate software defaults.
- yesenadam 9y agoHehe.. I set my wordpress site to Australian English, but one look at my new edit page with its permanent "G'day" made me change it immediately back to GB-English.
- clort 9y agoI always think that the way that is written, is irrelevant to the way that it is spoken. I don't want to read it like it is spoken (Irvine Welsh I dislike your books though have no problem with the films), I want to read the words that communicate the concept.
- petepete 9y ago> Americans could care less So they do care?
- Walf 9y agoOnly the ones that care about English, generally.
- bigal67 9y agosupposedly ;) Sorry... being slightly facetious :)
- petepete 9y agoI think supposably is a valid word and makes sense in this context. The meaning overlaps a lot with supposedly, which is much more-commonly used, so it sounds a bit odd.
- Walf 9y agoI hope that you, too are being sarcastic. The meaning doesn't overlap, it's the same word, mispronounced.

- bigal67 9y agoSupposably is a real word, but the meaning is different. It is a synonym for "conceivable", whereas supposedly means: "according to what is accepted or believed to be true" see: http://www.dictionary.com/e/supposedly-vs-supposably/ http://www.dictionary.com/e/supposedly-vs-supposably/
