As an American, we simplified English spellings back in the day. Pray we don’t simplify it further.

But for real, yeah here it’s correct to spell it check. A lot of words that we spell different were adopted into English before we simplified our spellings.

And that's why in language switchers there should be "English" and "Simplified English".

Or just American English and British. It’s taken on a life of its own.

Or idk call it what you want in your country’s software and see how widespread of a convention you get it to be

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
