I like and endorse Webster's reforms (-or, -er, -ize). Why write the French way? What have the Normans ever done for us? Apart from the legal system, chivalry, heraldry, and centuries of low-key class warfare.

And the abolition of slavery in England - not of great benefit to the rest of the world I suppose.

Some of the evolution of parliamentary democracy?

Low key class warfare is better than the high key version - look at the French revolution and the like!
