No offense to the Brits

but British English is pretty whack.

I've been writing British constantly for work, and I've picked it up surprisingly smoothly. Well I DID grow up here. I have to write "centre" a lot, as well as "flavourful" and "colours" and "realise." Then there are the periods and commas that come after the end quotation marks, although question and exclamation marks come before. All this makes me realize British English goes against commonsense. (Not that American English makes total sense either.)

But I still blog in American!
