Irrational HatredPeople who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

Tut! You can't believe anything you see on TV any more...I saw a programme ages ago where they explained the differences as being due to the Americans using an obsolete pre-War of Independence dictionary. Oh well.
The dates thing really gets me when it's on stuff like backup software. The number of times I have tried to recover something, put the date in as dd/mm/yyyy and its come back with "nothing backed up for that date". Usually accompanied by a horrible sinking feeling as my brain goes "shit fuck arse bollocks! the backups are screwed!" then followed by the realisation that American dates have struck again and that everything is fine.

I'm fairly sure it was CollinsWho tried to create a version of English with easier spellings for a population of immigrants mainly from countries that don't speak English.
I may have dreamt this.
