I doubt you're much of a nazi, crud, but it's "license".

And anyway, thanks for helping me do a double-take on this thing. I didn't feel like reading deviantArt's T's&C's-length description every time I stared it down.

License is PIG AMERICAN spelling.

That is right.

Yes, I do usually type quickly, but I come from a country where the native tounge is "English" and not "Bastardised Language".

Also "jail" is spelt "gaol". I wish you'd get that right.

If I see that typo one more time...

Anyway, yeah, they seem to be the US English and British English (or English English, to be fair) versions. But it's not like "armour" and "armor", with one being only used in America and the other being only used in Britain. It seems either one is widely in use in Britain, like with "mum" and "mom", the latter of which is the American spelling but is used just as often as the British one and isn't even though of as being particularly American any more.

Mom really isn't used in here at all, except for items such as mothers day cards that get imported from the US. I don't know anyone here who would spell mum mom.
This goes for living both down south and up north. Where are you at?

The Midlands. The only people I hear saying "mum" are certain people with really strong regional accents, like Scousers or Mancurians... Also Londoners. To me it always sounds like something you hear in an Enid Blyton book or something, like "Rupert, we must hurry back at once! Mummy has made us some scrumptious stew for din-dins!" OK, I'm taking the piss, but you get the idea. It's funny this has been brought up, though, because the other day I said "mom" in a sentence when talking to a girl who's originally from London and she said "Don't use that annoying Americanism!" and everyone else was just "... what?" Well anyway, long live regional differences in the UK.

Sup guise, how about a nice warm cup of thread locked.
