When it comes to Level-5 vs Capcom, it's NO contest. Level-5 is better for a LOT of reasons. For a start, Level-5 is really good in their animations. Just compare this:
Professor Layton and the Pandora's Box
With this:
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All
The graphics from PL are of higher quality. And that was just with the original Nintento DS!
Anyway, all that aside, Level-5 have done QUITE well with their localisations. They even have localisations for Australia and the UK (and spell things right). Which brings me to this:
Which English is better? American or Australian/British. Personally, I prefer Austalian/British English. You don't spell "fence" with an 's' instead of the 'c'. So why does that change just because you're adding "de" or "of" at the start? I hate "defense!" That just looks wrong! It's D-E-F-E-N-CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC-E!!!!!!!!!!!!

*trying to figure out what gaming company preference has to do with spelling preference*
Incidentally, the first three PW games were originally GBA games, released years later as DS ports. So I don't think it's fair to imply PL's graphics are superior based on that.

Hmmm.... What about GS4? Was that on the GBA?
Anyway, back to the topic...

So you like both spellings? I mostly am one-sided on this matter. I only like British/Australian English. Apparently another name for American English is "English with Mistakes"!

I'm aware it's a lead-up. It just comes off as a rather strange one to me.

Aside from that, Apollo Justice had some pretty good graphical quality. Layton's is more cartoony, while AA is more anime/realistic.
Layton's may be more cartoony, but the graphics was smoother, more animeted and less pixelated. I'm kind of judging this based on the skill level of the developers.
But enough about discussing the lead-up. Let's get back to the point of the topic.
With the 'u' in words like "colour," "favour," and "armour," it makes sense because the 'u' has something to do with changing the way the 'o' sounds. Otherwise, if we take out the 'u,' "colour" would sound more like "col-awr."
Now there's something to throw at those who think that "color" is the way to go. It's colour! COLOUR! COLOUR!
Spoiler: There is a lot of text here...
Also, I hate how the Americans take out the second 'l' in words like "travelling" and "cancelled." Please think about the 'bossy e' effect! If I was to take out the second 'l' in "cancelled", it would sound more like "can-ceeled!

With regards to the English, I come from the UK, so I do prefer our English spelling. Though you can't deny that some versions are spelled slightly better in American English. Like "laser/lazer". While I do spell the word with the former, it's easy to see why Americans use the latter.
Fire the lasers! Or should it be "Fire the lacers!"?
Just one example

American here. We don't use "lazer." Wouldn't make sense to put a z in an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." Maybe you'd see "lazer" if someone was trying to invoke Xtreme Kool Letterz, but the majority of us spell it as "laser."

Really not something worth fighting over, people will have been raised with it as a norm and so it'll seem perfectly normal to them. They are functionally the same and since ease of use varies with individuals it's impossible to say one is objectively better as everyone will find one easier to use based on what they are used to.
Honestly I'm impressed this discussion even kicked off to this level, had no idea people were so invested in such subtle language differences XD

Well, if you want to get technical about it, the Brits didn't invent English either. It was Germanic invaders. It was only over many centuries that the language evolved into something we can recognize today.

I'm SURE there are people out there that share my opinion.
I'm just frustrated with the things the Americans did with the English language. For a start, my computer had US spellings, even when I set the system language to English (UK). I installed the language packs from the Control Panel and that got rid of most of those rotten spellings. But they still stayed in programs that I installed. Sometimes, it drives me nuts! And some sites don't let you view things in British English.
Then there are these companies like Crayola, who import their products to the likes of Australia, but don't even localise their spellings. Then out of those products, some are given to children who are probably just learning to spell and it sets a bad example! It even showed in high school!
With all this going on, it really feels like the Americans are starting to think they invented the language. And I'm not the only one! Once, I talked to a shopkeeper abut this and they were agreeing with me.
So... It's kind of a matter of context what we think about this matter.

In this Horrible Histories book, I remember that there was this person who wanted to punish people who DIDN'T spell the American way. Also, even today, people are STILL pressuring others to spell the American way:

There's this thing called context. If it were written by an American, it would be completely different.

You're just adding 'de' to 'fence.' What's with adding the 'de' that makes you need to also change the 'c' to an 's'?
Of course there are words like defensive, defensiveness, defensively and defensible, that you can't spell with a 'c' but that's because you're changing the 'e' to an 'i'. Other than that, spelling "defence" with an 's' just looks wrong!

Well for starters it's ok
I know what context is, you don't need to try and put me down here I'm not antagonising you, I'm just poking your ideas a little to see if they hold up.It's just that when I said the article seemed pro-Brit Spelling, I had no idea of the nationality so my point really would have stood even without context. The context you are describing is also not the one in the article. If it was written by an American...I'd still see a mostly balanced article that acknowledges the advantages of both sides.
You presented the article with this statement:
Quote:
Also, even today, people are STILL pressuring others to spell the American way:
Which seems to imply the article would support your proposition...but I didn't get that impression from the article.
The only way I'd really see it that way (with the change in context you proposed) is if I just read the headline: "Should we adopt American Spelling?" If it was written by an American then yeah it's fair to say there might be a bit of bias in it. The article's title wouldn't make sense (as Americans would already use American spelling) but then I'd say you would have a reasonable point.
As it is I don't think your argument about people being pressured to spell the American way really is fair, you mention that if the context was different then it would be but the context ISN'T different and so your article is not good evidence of people being pressured to spell the American way.

You know, we have a "You know what really grinds my gears?" thread. I'm not entirely sure this warranted its own topic.
On topic, however, I looked up the origin of the word "defense/defence," and it apparently comes from the Latin word, defensa, which means "vengeance." You'll note the lack of the letter C in that word. That's because in Latin, the soft C sound did not exist. Ergo, if anyone is spelling it wrong, it's you English.

I went to the shops today and saw packets of pencils and crayons, etc. in the stationery asile. Anyway, one brand can't choose wether to spell "colour" with a 'u' as you can see in these examples:
Spoiler: Examples. Blue for BrE. Red for AmE.
Is this a case of the company trying to do "Xtreme Kool Letterz"? Or is it just me?

Why would spelling it differently from a dead language that's not used any more in day-to-day language be wrong?
Also "you English" would also include Australians as he's pointed out.
There's nothing 'wrong' about either of the spellings, it's just small cultural differences based on where you are commonly taught English.

Alright, let's digress...
Also to digress means to stray from the main topic which we probably shouldn't.
Regarding your crayon conundrum though it's probably just based on where the crayons are manufactured/commonly sold in.

On topic, however, I looked up the origin of the word "defense/defence," and it apparently comes from the Latin word, defensa, which means "vengeance." You'll note the lack of the letter C in that word. That's because in Latin, the soft C sound did not exist. Ergo, if anyone is spelling it wrong, it's you English.
Why would spelling it differently from a dead language that's not used any more in day-to-day language be wrong?
Also "you English" would also include Australians as he's pointed out.
There's nothing 'wrong' about either of the spellings, it's just small cultural differences based on where you are commonly taught English.

Alright, let's digress...
Also to digress means to stray from the main topic which we probably shouldn't.
Regarding your crayon conundrum though it's probably just based on where the crayons are manufactured/commonly sold in.
With the "crayon conundrum", which are you talking about? Can you provide the quote? Otherwise, everything else you said is fine.
Tux Paint can't decide on how to spell "colour", either. I even have a screenshot for it... but it's on a different computer to the one I'm using now.

I went to the shops today and saw packets of pencils and crayons, etc. in the stationery asile. Anyway, one brand can't choose wether to spell "colour" with a 'u' as you can see in these examples:
Is this a case of the company trying to do "Xtreme Kool Letterz"? Or is it just me?

I spell color and colour and use both versions of English, neither is better.

"Colour" when you're trying to appear fancy, and "color" when you're trying to save space on Twitter.
I'd probably only use "color" if there were a very strict, short, character limit, (like 50 for example) and I needed that space. But I've never encountered that problem before, so.... I'm always going to use "colour." Colour is the way to go!

Wait,how can one pronounce 'color' as col-aw without trying to do so on purpose?
"Or" sounds like "Awr"

Awr,not aw. There's a difference.
Sure but I merely said sounds "like" not "identical".
I can see why someone would say "or" sounds like "aw" is my point. The "Aw" part is present in both.
