AVID:Requests for Comment/International English spelling
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.

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

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)).

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)
Support Could do, I guess. Gilby1385 (talk) 20:22, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
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)
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)
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)

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.

- 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.

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