Re: American/British spelling

It just seems polite to me, to use the right kind of language when it comes to the whole American/British thing.

If you're reading a fic set in Britain, British fans will get instantly thrown out of the narrative by out of place phrases* (and, to a lesser extent, spelling). If you're reading a fic set in an American fandom and you're American, British phrases and spelling is going to do the same**.

But then this is a petty rant thread - and my irritation really is just a petty thing! Mostly I love that we all write fic regardless of what language and spelling is in there. :)


*"Sherlock, have you seen my gray sweater from Target?" demanded John. "The one you left on the sidewalk after we had a beer at the bar?" asked Sherlock.

**"Let's grab a takeaway and mosey on down the pub," said Dean. "Sounds grand," agreed Sam, grabbing his Marks and Spencers coat.

There's a difference between using the right terminology and using the different spellings, though. Arguing for jumper instead of sweater in a BBC Sherlock story? Fair. Arguing for colour instead of color? Pretentious, and a huge waste of time.
