We actually use program for computer programs, but programme for a programe of events. We like to be irregular.
Sounds like the US got this one right when we dumped the latter.
Spelling is still a hot mess in US English, but it's substantially better than British.
Better is subjective. If one measured the merits of the language on its rich cultural history, then British (as usual) wins. However, if it's measured by accessibility for simpletons then the US (as usual) wins.
Are you suggesting that US English isn't derived from British English? Or are you specifically talking about the history over the last couple hundred years? The US isn't that old, and also has a rich cultural history...
Maybe an example of how Britain's rich cultural history has better shaped the language is in order.
Nah was just a shitpost tbh, I wouldn't read much into it.
