You forgot to mention that they all weigh at least 300 pounds and munch fast
food the whole day while wasting 25% of the worldwide energy resources for
cars with V8 engines, air conditions and swimming pools in the californian
desert.

Well - I never understood why it makes such a big difference for Brits and
Americans if the "proper" english is used.
It's like having a German, Austrian and Swiss list just because there might
be some grammatical and/or vocabular differences.
In fact there is just one "German" list and most of the people are happy
with it regardless of the "german flavour" that is used in their local area.

I don't think it will raise ones knowledge about handling of colours in the
GIFBUILDER if you write it "colors" instead.
But I think it makes sense to translate some documents from "denglish"
(which might be danish english or deutsches english) to a correct "universal
english" version.

Joey
