      Melchett is British so he'd have used the correct spelling of honour. 😉

    • @Torthrodhel
      @Torthrodhel 10 месяцев назад

      @@SpeccyMan yeah. Google doesn't use English English though, so it always marks our spellings as "mistakes" on the youtubes (and still does it even after I set the language setting). But aside from just being forgivable for that reason, honestly I reject both sets of arbitrary preferences. Our side of the pond got some of it right, their side of the pond got some of it right. Besides whatever of my preferences have been set simply by virtue of what I'm used to, I find it best to pick and choose, mix and match. "Honor" looks better on the page to me, probably only due to that's likely the way I've seen it spelled.
      Eh, language is an amorphous blob anyway. Unless it's getting in the way of understanding I don't see the harm of it changing just as it always has done. I do get how annoying it can be if it's a pet upset, though. One of mine is people putting ends on words that don't need them because that's already what they mean (as in, "resiliency" instead of "resilience"... shudders). So yeah we all have the capacity for pedantry.
      Ideologically in terms of language nationality identity though, I guess you'd call me a punk and a remixer. Both of which seem pretty British to me. :)
      Anyway, you didn't ask for any of this rambling, ha. All the best.
