But why, may I ask, did you think I was British?Simply from the way that you spelled "behaviour" on your
profile page.Americans spell it "behavior", while the British (and those
with British influence), spell it "behaviour".The British share a lot of history with India, right?
Oh! I was all along thinking I ticked you off somewhere, and I was wondering where. Anyway, thanks for the compliments.
By the way, if you think I am posting too many India-related posts here, I'd be thankful to you if you could indicate to me if I am being inconsiderate.
Well, yes. We are a union and a functioning democracy, thanks to the British. But it wasn't entirely due to them that we are a free country. For example, Pakistan was created the same time out of the erstwhile British-Indian empire, but fumbled from being a democracy pretty early on, in spite of being of the same ethnicity as the rest of the Indians. And on the English language, I find that American English is a lot more practical than the other forms of it, but, as you would be aware, old habits die hard, and hence my preference for spelling words with 'our' instead of 'or'.
