And how would this help your argument?
(By the way, you missed a lot out.)
What does the "American" definition of the word "set" have to do with anything? By the way, the "British" definition is the same, so I ask again... just what is your point?

Although it is painful, I have to agree with Bowmann on this matter.
You see, it starts by misspelling words: Humor instead of humour, for example. But it generally ends up with freaks like George Bush pronouncing beautiful words like nuclear as NOO Cler.
Yes, languages change as does everything else with time. But as evolution suggests, things are supposed to get better.
If you look at say the word "humour", if you were going to drop a letter from it, you should drop the o. It is pronounced as humur (a high U followed by a low u). It's not and never was hUm or. Never will be either.
Don't get me wrong though, what the Cockney types do with English should be a shooting offense as well.

If you guys think what Bush does to the english language is bad, you should actually visit some parts of the U.S. The south is a good example, but Pennsylvannia (sp?) is one of the lesser known, but worst, slaughterhouses of the language. They regularly say things like "The glass needs washed" or "The dog needs walked", among other travesties.
