It disappoints me when I see Americans (and other nationalities) appropriating the English language by spelling words such as "colour" and "favourite" incorrectly.
I wish that this appropriation of hundreds of years worth of culture would end, with "American English" spellings being abolished. Do you get upset by this cultural appropriation too?
I can't read your OP. I have a dignity color scheme
It's probably for the best

You should be glad that English is spoken worldwide (same can be said for several European languages). Are you disgusted by the British empire's chauvinism upon every country that it colonized?
As for the appropriation thing, to some extent it's petty. Cultures always influenced each other. In this case I could see if it was a race that was robbed of its history, language, achievements, etc. But what are y'all complaining about?
Also, American appropriation? Don't forget how much the USA has been there for you.

Screaming it's a little better
That's not appropriating though. So I don't see a problem
