[Dx-qsl] Fwd: postal increase

Fri Feb 4 09:09:19 EST 2011

Probably the same reason we drop the "u" in colour, flavour, odour, etc and
also why a headline might read "a drug arrest" rather than "a drugs arrest."
- And for the same reason that in the previous sentence, we use double
quotes rather than single and put the punctuation inside the quote marks. I
would have to say it's just the way the language evolved over the last
150-200 years and that we likely dropped those extra letters as a form of
brevity. My question along those lines would be why you brits name a car's
luggage space after a piece of winter footwear <grin>? In reading a good
degree of news from various U.K. sites, the one thing that really distracts
me is the British use of the letter s where we use a z. Privatise, stylize,
etc.

This always bugs me - the US usage of the word MATH.

Why to US people use the word MATH? I am not being derogatory, just
interested....
