American English is specific to America, unsurprisingly. Which is why the simplified spellings of words (sulfur, color, tire) only apply there, and everyone else uses the regular English spellings.Leumas wrote:*it must be either an australian or english person, because they still spell Color="Colour". *If you will America changed it, but it still holds.

some of my favorites from an old math teacher, that will make so much less sense because no one here knows him. He's this 1000 year old dude named Adil Yaqub. He rules.
"and, of course, the integral of x is simplicity itself."
"1 minus cosine squared is an old friend." (LOL!)
"this thing is going to be dripping trapezoids."
"this equals to all this shabang"
kid: well why are we using the trapezoid rule then? adil: why do you do any calculus?" (best one ever)
