I spell everything the English way… the language is called English so by definition, they are correct in everything.
I’ve adopted tyres and kerb into my daily spelling
Their words are better too… lorry > truck, hoover > vacuum, chips > fries…
I urge all canadians to start using more british english in daily speak.
And if it pisses off the yanks and albertans, even better
Kerb, tyre and Hoover are a hard no for me. Two are weird and one is a trademarked brand name (yes, I say facial tissue not Kleenex) I wouldn’t Dyson my living room so why would I Hoover it? We already say fish & chips and we have chip wagons not food trucks. I’m happy with that and spelling colour and flavour with a “u”. Cheque with the “que” is always going to be better than “check”. Lorry sounds silly, I’d rather use their other commonly used term “HGV”. I’ll add that I say trash bin rather than garbage can. Last but not least… it’s pronounced zed not zee!!
I’m sorry but what. Of all the dumb decidedly not “elbows up” shit in that budget, this? This is the line??
And technically we use British English here…
Canadian English is distinct:
- Organization - us spelling
- Tire - us spelling
- Behaviour - British spelling
- Ladybug - us term
- Cheque - British spelling
In otherwords its a nightmarish unholy mishmash just like our system of measurement.

And that’s not a word.
It is now. It’s streets ahead.
