This article suprises me.

I never thought USA was that dyslexic. (No offence to any dyslexics)

pernickety - persnickety

😂 Why add an "S"

That's not dyslexic at all...you do know what dyslexia is, right?

Theater instead of theatre?

Dyslexia is when you have trouble reading things because your mind changes around different letters. Not not being able to spell.

Try knowing what you're talking about 🙄

Yeah, when you can't spell.

No, it's when you have trouble recognizing words, but spelling can be a part of it

Usually people in the US use movie theater instead of cinema, yes, but that can also be a local thing.

Hey, lord xyz, have you actually read that article, or did you simply skim the parts that show different spellings?

Yes, I read (some of) it.

I'm guessing you really didn't or you'd notice that, according to it, many of the spelling patterns used in American English also were (or still are) seen in British English as well.

I say......who cares.

Try taking a look at those sections 😛

You know, it really looks quite bad on someone if they try using an article to prove a point having not even read said article.
