    It’s my right as an American to not have extra 'U’s in my words and you’re infringing on it!

      There’s no extra 'U’s. What you want is your right to exclude the 'U’s you don’t feel are necessary, it’s not the same thing. There was no need for the 'z’s but you guys couldn’t help yourselves could you!?

        I use American English for the superior compression algorithms and the more extensive import features.

          (joking) You deserve more downvotes for this

          How dare Americans pronounce it as (constant sound)-ē like b, c, d, g, p, t, and v instead of its correct pronunciation as one of 2-3 consonants that aren’t just their sound preceded or followed by a vowel sound

          That being said, my takes on alphabet pronunciation are total batshit, I have beef with H and Q

              You’re good, no nerve struck here, just being melodramatic for fun =)

              Quite frankly, I’m not sure why your comment is getting downvoted so much XD
