Don't get too self-righteous guys.
I agree whole heartedly that it's stupid, but the US started this stupidity over 100 years ago by changing the spelling of words so US English written words would be different from the rest of the worlds written English.
Harbor instead of Harbour, etc., etc., etc.
Most recently changing the pronunciation of Z (said) to zee or something else equally as stupid so it will forever more be confused with C.
The biggest problem is that the French language is slowly going in the same direction as Latin - becoming a dead language, and understandably most French speaking people don't like the reality of the situation.
Unfortunately, because of this they are continually doing some pretty stupid things, and they seem to be doing them more frequiently.
The Japannese are also doing similar things in the same stupid futile effort to stop the inevitable.
