  • The purpose of this thread is talking about why the Americans adopted a particular spelling - the evolution of the word, not who initially named it.

    I’m the one that literally started the thread and no the purpose was not “talking about why the Americans adopted a particular spelling”. It was literally about who fucking named it.

    No wonder you have no clue what you are talking about, you aren’t even on the right subject.



  • This quote is from tthe etymology section, explaining how the spelling rose to prominence in the US - again, Americans drove this spelling adoption - Webster then HALL. Not ‘the Brits’. 🤦‍♂️

    dude. who the fuck do you think CREATED THE FUCKING WORD.

    Holy shit, I’ve never seen someone so fucking dense.

    DAVY -> WEBSTER -> HALL

    it fucking started with Davy, like this isn’t a hard fucking concept to understand. He invented the fucking word. Webster didn’t invent it, Hall didn’t invent it. Fucking Davy invented it. It was literally a Briton that invented it. It fucking started with the Brits. The word wouldn’t exist without Davy. The word wouldn’t be in America without Davy. Do you actually think Webster just invented a different word to put in his book?

    🤦 🤦 🤦 🤦 🤦 🤦
