American Spelling

Initiated by Noah Webster in the early 19th century, American Spelling is perhaps the most successful effort ever to make the English language more phonetically written, thus decreasing its unnecessary difficulties for people trying to learn it as a foreign language.
Come on, do people in England really pronounce "centre" as "sen-tray"?

American Idol

A tv talent show with wordSimon Cowell, Paula Abdul and bag of lard Randy Jackson. It has very high ratings and has made millions for Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller(don't they have enough money?)
Expect rubbish spin-off movies and programs to come from this and lots of cover versions.
