G. B. Shaw is Irish btw. I wouldn't have bothered quoting an American bitching about the English speaking English.

Don't get me wrong, they do that a lot. (Makes me sometimes, some of my - oh, so patriotic - coworkers). It just wouldn't carry much weight.

I've heard many times how they say "colour" is bad because it's not spelled the way it's pronounced. Now if it's supposed to be spelled the way it's pronounced, shouldn't it be "coler"?
