Your last sentence is hinting on something that actually has more bearing on technology effecting language: HTML. When I was first learning HTML & CSS it irked me to have to spell "colour" wrong to get things working. Now I just use the US American spelling everywhere (it helps that I'm currently in the US).
- lemoncucumber 3y agoThat’s still not as bad as having to spell referrer wrong in http headers where it’s spelled “referer”... which is incorrect for every flavo(u)r of English.
- spydum 3y agoI remember writing a logging method for a webserver forever ago, and could not for the life of me, understand why my Referrer values were not getting logged. Finally looked at the headers, and thought it was a bug in the browser I was testing. Took way too long to figure out the problem.
