Do you know guys, let's take for BBC, ITV, Channel 4, ABC (Australia) and more now gives the British and Australian English spelling for many pages also International English for International logos and Canadian English use for Canadian logos page using "colour", "stylised (International)/stylized (Canadian)", "favour" and more. for International English spelling on pages. I think change way for spelling turn around.

Support

Agreed. American English is overrepresented anyway. CrazySpruiker2001 (talk) 11:02, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

1. Support Since we have members from across the globe, including the ones you have mentioned (the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada), I guess it could work. -- (Discussion area ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) 11:20, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

   I'm gonna discuse Roadshow Entertainment and other Village Roadshow companies (except Village Roadshow Pictures) will uses Australian English for all of Australian logos. Daffa916 (talk) 10:42, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

4. Support Using American English in the pages was a holdover from when our pages were Americentric (such as putting country names after the names of non-American companies on their page titles, e.g. Studio Ghibli (Japan)). · Talk · Edits 13:19, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

   BBC Films, ITV, Carlton Video and other British-related logos on british page will uses British spelling. Daffa916 (talk) 09:54, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

5. Support As an Australian who speaks Australian English, I love this idea! I would like to see Australian logo descriptions get written in Australian English! Sickminecraft45 (talk) 04:22, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

   Okay right Australian English applied to all of Australian logos. Daffa916 (talk) 07:38, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

6. Support Could do, I guess. Gilby1385 (talk) 20:22, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
7. Support That's such a great idea. American English is overrated and I actually pronounce it with Bri'ish accent, but write it with American dialect. User:Luli Logo (talk) January 14, 2023 21:22 (UTC)
8. Support yes, I would like British English to be used on UK-based company pages. Same with Australia. EsaïeGregoryPrickett (talk) 06:44, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
9. Support. Other wikis (such as Wikipedia and TV Tropes) allow both American and Commonwealth English to be used, so I don't see why AVID shouldn't. Dominicmgm (talk) 09:21, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
10. Support. Super duper agree here. And why not have the date format changed accordingly? (i.e. January 18, 2023 [MDY] for US and Philippine logos, 18 January 2023 [DMY] for UK/Australian logos, etc.) PokeRapMonster (talk) 12:42, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Comments

Um, what are you trying to say here? (Lets chat!) 09:11, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

That we should switch to using the English spelling outside the US for all the pages. · Talk · Edits 13:22, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Now uses British English for BBC, ITV and other British logos and date and will be in British style could be works. Daffa916 (talk) 09:44, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

no offense dude but your grammar is extremely hard to understand NancerAVID (talk) 01:40, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

As Nancer said, your grammar is very poor. I'm going to assume for the moment that English is a second language, rather than you being underaged, as you seem to have the best interests of the wiki in mind. (Lets chat!) 15:17, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

This is giving me severe "Why do they call it oven" vibes (The Third Place) 12:51, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food? IAmThe789Guy (talk) 20:33, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

American English should never be used on this site anymore in my opinion. CrazySpruiker2001 (talk) 09:45, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Yeah. The site is being hosted on a british service, so by that merit, switching over to british english makes sense. (Lets chat!) 15:18, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm not too sure on that to be perfectly honest. Gilby1385 (talk) 15:44, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

for british logos, sure, american logos, keep the american spelling (rebrand coming soon probably) (The Third Place) 04:59, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

How about we do the same for the release dates (YMD for Japanese logos and DMY for British logos)? This was once considered on the old CLG Wiki. Gilby1385 (talk) 18:59, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
