[edit] Annoying edit

It's slightly annoying that 169.157.229.67 felt the need to gratuitously Americanise the spelling of "colours". PeteVerdon

I'm also a little vexed that you decided gratuitously to split the infinitive of the verb "to Americanize", Pete... :-) -- Picapica 14:19, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

You mean use a form of language invented in England (and used in the US), instead of one invented in France (and used in England)...220.253.50.159 12:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
