Will this do?
Sorry for more OT rambles, but my gripe is that they seem to have changed the spelling according to the accent. If say, an (real) English speaking person from England said, 'color', they'd pronounce it different than 'colour'.
It doesn't bother me so much in Australia, as we've kept our spelling correct, but our accent does differ significantly.
For example,
Australia - 'Straya
Mate - Mait
Right - Rouight
Poor examples there, but it really garrottes my gander. Seriously, I lose sleep over American 'English'.
If we Australians started spelling things according to our accent, there'd be a lot of confused and frustrated folk.
I'll step down from my soap box. It was only made from cardboard anyway, and more of a carton rather than a box. So it's already quite flat as it is.
