Americans
who get pissed off with the way English people spell things.

The clue's in the word 'English'.

I use this argument alllll the time...
I wish they would just piss off.

Stop trying to tell me how to speak/write my own language!

Don't get me wrong
I love the English language. It's one of the most diverse and vibrant languages spoken on the planet, which is awesome.

It's just all the people who speak it that get on me tits, mostly Americans who keep asking why no-one seems to be able to speak 'American'.

But spelling is the one subject that everyone jumps up and down on that irritates me, why should it matter that I dropped the 'u', no advantage is gained by it, nor is the meaning of the word changed. Get over it.

To repeat myself
I've often wondoured about the British infatuuatioun with the letteur "u". Where did it coume froum? Why was it deemed necessary to have all these sileunt letteurs eveurywhere? It makes it difficuult to read at times withouut mentaully heauring it souund like someoune with a mouuthfuul of rotteun cheese.

(You have no idea how painful that was to write.)

*applause*
If any American ever complains about the English language having extra letters, write this message to them (handily translated into American):

Go and fck yorselves yo stpid cnts.

Me, I don't get annoyed by it.
I find it amusing. It's funny to see the country that invented the fucking language then mangle it, innit, guv?

That's a point
The regional accents over hear make most yanks sound positively posh.

If that don't beat all.
