This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff
Australia
How do I put it?
Today, my daughter asked me how to spell "Orange". "O-R-A-N-G-E," I replied. Without missing a beat, she says, "No, I mean the colour, not the fruit." She's 16. FML

Oh, my... There are some dumb girls in Australia. (My Aussie friend tells me one of his sisters is the same.)

Fun fact # 12 - the whole world does not use American spelling for words. OP is from Australia, which uses British english. Another example is mum (or mom for you).

why do idiot Americans think the world revolves around them? You didn't create English, you don't own the world, and your way of doing things has always been the stupid way.

#119, it's one thing to correct one stupid commenter, it's another thing to judge an entire country based on him. I'm American, and I don't think my nationality makes everything I do stupid. BOTH spellings are correct AND incorrect depending on the country you're in. Fun fact: although some English people are apparently claiming to have invented the English language, you should realize that you haven't. Australian English, British English, American English, and Canadian English have all undergone roughly the same amount of changes. Modern British English is NOTHING like it was 600 years ago-- same for American English. In fact, the English spoken by Shakespeare may have had what we now consider an old-fashioned southern American accent. Crazy shit! Anyway, don't judge. It's rude.

#72, don't be mean. Technically neither did Australians or modern-day English people. We've all distorted it together. Isn't that beautiful?
