The correct spellings and grammar of English words may only be found in an English dictionary, from England.
If you were to consult an American version of the English dictionary, you would find many perversions of our language within.
Why do the Americans insist that their spellings are correct just because their country is bigger than England? We spoke it first, we spelt it first, we wrote the first dictionary, the language is called English, when did 'Americanism' first enter our language? Who was the first fool to miss off the U in 'colour,' the S in 'maths,' the I in 'Aluminium' and the UE in 'analogue?'
It's so unfortunate...

Tom: hey!
Tom: I just had 2
Jen: LOL
Tom: were you just guessing, or?
Jen: i guessed by some of your grammar and spelling...:P
Tom: stop grammar stalking me!

Someone who gets so worked up by improper grammar, they are unable to function.
Chuck is such a dick. My email to his customer had "there" instead of "their" and he came at me like a god damn pitbull. What a grammar snob.
