Sorry, WW, but I'd have to say that these two statements completely contradict one another. You're being pretty biased in your tirade, here.
Also, would you seriously stand up and argue that "color" is superior to "colour," "bus" is superior to "lorry," and "parking lot" is superior to "car park"? These differences are all just branches of the differing evolution of the English language. Hell, there's a whole ocean separating the U.S. from the U.K.; inconsistencies were bound to pop up. Just as the British don't have a monopoly on the language, American usage is not the end-all. (Despite what your nifty little Microsoft spell-checker may say.)
To R.K.: Glad to have you on the Forum. As you can tell, there's never a dull moment around here. Don't let any of this scare you off. We'd all like to see what you have to offer!

Thanks hikarinaihoshi, Mallignamius, Malone, Futhark, Shinn and Hawke for your friendly welcome to the forum.
There is no monopoly on creativity in various Englishes and I am happy we can all interact through the forum.
All the best
R K
