I prefer english (english-english) spelling over regular english.
Like Favourite vs. Favorite.
or Centre vs. Center.
English-english is just so much nicer.
And I can't really make a list of all the words I like.
But my favorite has to be Fuck. It's very stress-relieving.
But aside from curses, my favorite is definately SHWING.
It's an awesome word.
SHWING!

I too like British spelling, though I don't use it. It'd feel a bit silly... like a fake British accent, which I also wish I could get away with, lol. But my favorite word... there's so many! Hmm. I always liked the word defenestrate. Thing. Bubbles. Quite. Quixotic. Money. Serendipity. Savvy. Penguin. Ukulele.
I'll think of more later -- and it'll probably wake me up in the middle of the night.

Oh oh...I love words...my little pets....
I suppose I'll let out my special ones just for you guys:
iconoclast...I don't know, it just sounds so damn official.
pariah...perhaps because I am one, lol, on the inside at least.
paucity...it's just so weird of a word, but I went through a period of time where I used it nonstop.
and last but not least
intimate...such a strange verb to me, but it sounds so right.

My favorate word is not even a real word; shpadoinkle (From the movie "Cannibal: The Musical")
I think Embolden is an awesome word too- Try saying "You can't embolden an unemboldenable enemy" really fast.
Let's not forget about the ever so popular word, Get.
And Truthiness is another one up there on the list.

Jargon, glib, and Loquacious. Don't know why, I just love those words.
How annoying, my font randomly changed.
