It's Spelt: C E N T R E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uhhm... "most stupidest" is improper grammar.
It's really sad that people who try to prove a point on intelligence, sound stupid themselves.
And while both "honour" and "honor" "neighbor" and "neighbour" "centre" and "center" are all correct, it seems to be a trend on this board that the people who spell the words in their original spelling seem to have a higher level of knowledge for the written word. Not only is "neghbour" and "honour" and "centre" indeed the original spellings, it is also true that "honor" and "center" are Americanized versions. Not that the whole race is stupid, because that would be a huge generalization, but really... I do think that they are a lazy race, whom after time and time again of spelling things incorrectly or by the way the word sounds, just decided to change the language to suit them and their needs.
By the way, I love the quote posted on this board about England and America being seperated by a common language. Very nice. :)

Actually i'm british and frankly spelling it center instead of centre makers more sense. we don't spell other words like this:

entre
computre
shootre

not coming up with alot of words ending with 'er'

We have hundreds of nukes and 300 million citizens so we'll spell words how we please.

"the spelling 'center' is to do with a building like a health center."

Next time you're at the health centre, please check out the signs. There is no 'center' in Standard British English. It's not even in the dictionary (except with a "US" next to it!). Really. "Health centre" is, though, I notice – it still means a centre point, but it's administrative and abstract, rather than physical and literal.

Who ever heard of centreal?

Oh god, does everyone hate us Americans? I didn't think so, but it just seems like it, with all kinds of threads I see that are of similar matters. Look, the people who, in my country, currently spell it 'center' did not choose this. Our ancestors did, and so therefore we are responsible? Hey, I spell it 'theatre' because it is way more awesome (I was about to type awesomer but we are all about grammar in this crazy thread) than theater, and it isn't as uncommon as some other things, like colour or honour. I have to say centre looks much cooler than boring center. But that's just how it's spelled here. We can't help it. Well, I suppose we can, theoretically, but what's the point? To preserve 'your' 'noble' language? Well know what? Plenty of our ancestors (include my own) came from England. Passing it down, it's our language too. It means nothing to us that there's a u missing from the original spellings of some words, or that an r and e are reverse in others. Maybe it did to the people who changed it, and maybe they meant something by it, but we don't. It's utterly ridiculous. What's the big deal about a few changes anyway?

That being said, it feels really weird, all of the differences between America and [seemingly] everywhere else. Like, the whole metric system thing, and does everyone drive on the left side of the road except for us? I'm not sure, never left the country.

But anyway, to some of the more ridiculous statements that floated around here:

well, first of all not everyone voted for bush both times (I'm not of voting age, so I obviously wasn't a part of either election) but my parents didn't vote for him either time, nor would I have, nor did many other people; obviously there were plenty of people who did, cause he won both times, but i can't give you a defense for them; I'm no republican, nor am I into politics, so I don't know what happened there.

as for not buying donuts for their spelling? how...I don't know. that's like how my friend lost interest in fall out boy because they 'sold out' and were on circuit city commercials. she used to be obsessed with them.

Don't you think its needlessly offensive to insult the way we speak/spell? I mean, sure, we got just about the most boring accents in the world, but what, in the end, does that matter?

Finally:

GENERALIZATIONS!!!!

If I am a bigot against anything, its of generalizations. They are my biggest. Pet. Peeve. How can you be sure that everyone in a certain place is this certain way until you meet all of them? I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Stupid people exist everywhere.

Fortunately, at that moment, an unconscious Argentinean fell through my roof.

Center may be the Americanised version, and it may also be found in American literature but this story isn't American, it's by a Frenchman. Look at the crew listing here on IMDb, they've even put the novel name with the "er" spelling. Talk about bastardising a language.

Incidentally, when we go to see a film in the UK, we don't go to a "theater" or a "theatre", we go to a cinema. Just thought I'd point that out.
