What is the difference? Is one of them an Americanism? Is one wrong?

In the U.S. the preferred past tense is "spelled," although "spelt" is not incorrect. "Spelt" is chiefly British.

I don't think most Americans would know one from the other! In my town we have over 30 thousand Asians...and as far I can tell...they all work very hard, and don't fleece the government\nI can not tell if one or the other is being more discriminated against!

Please go to school and get educated in American History, World History and Social Science. You make many unfounded clams and baseless statements. You are allowed to feel towards us Americans (democrates or not) how you want but we Americans in general are united (hence United States) no mattter what party we are. Read all your different threads you started here mate and see for yourself.

Grey is the English version; gray is the American.  They mean the same thing.

How about the "American" party since most Americans tend to prefer the middle ground over the extremes. Taoist is a religious philosophy and would offend some people.\n\nTaoism (or Daoism for the purists) refers to a power which envelops, surrounds and flows through all things, living and non-living. \n\n"We believe in the formless and eternal Tao, and we recognize all personified deities as being mere human constructs." Creed of the Western Reform Taoist Congregation

No there is no difference what so ever.It is time for Americans to stand up and restore our republic it is time for a revolution.Don't you think.They are all crooks and they just gave themselves another raise while they rip us off.I think American don't have the back bone our founding fathers had.We have grown up being pampered to the point most are to lazy and to scared to stand up for themselves.

everything you have said is true, fair enough i'm guessing by the smug superiority of your question that your possibly european of some description... \nits hardly fair to call america backwards... they are a bit mad, bigotted and obsessed with thier own self importance though and theres the obvious stupidity that will always be associated with the fact that they elected not one... two bush's

There's nothing particularly "bad" about either one, it's just that some individuals see things more in "black" or "white" than others, which would put them on one end of the spectrum or the other as far as politics.  The irony of the matter though is the answer to a lot of issues that "conservatives" and "liberals" often fight over is often in the middle of all this clamoring.  In the end, this is part of what makes America great...the fact that you CAN have any opinion you want about anything, regardless of which side of the political spectrum you are on.  There are many other nations around the world that having an opinion outside of the majority or what is in the government's interest isn't even a remote thought in the minds of the people.  I'm thankful to be here whether I agree with everyone about everything or not.

There is a difference.\n\nConservatism is a general term for that side of the spectrum.\n\nA neo-conservative in modern times are the conservatives who are a little farther out on the right.  They, like anyone who gets too far off the deep end, gets closed minded, thinks their side is ALWAYS right, feels like the other side is ALWAYS wrong and is a general BIGOT.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I'm not calling all conservatives that, only neo-conservatives.  It's the same with liberals and neo-liberals (liberals who think all events are a conspiracy by Bush, etc..)\n\nBeing too far on any one side is bad.  That's the idea of neo-con/lib.\n\nUsually, on this forum though, it's just name calling.  Most of the liberals that use "neo-con" are themselves "neo-libs".

The real deal with us British who some over the pond label as "anti-American" is not that we are against the American people as such. What I, as an "anti-American" dislike is the policies of successive USA governments. As individuals, almost all the Americans I have ever come in contact with, have been brilliant - good company and very hospitable. Good people in every way. Its just a pity that such good people never seem to get the kind of government they deserve.

If I am interpreting your question incorrectly, I apologize.\n\nI have two terms...\nA Jewish American, and an American Jew.\n\nBecause of the way we interpret English, the second word is the important one and the first is a modifier.\n\nSo an Jewish American, considers himself and American of the Jewish faith.\n\nAn American Jew, consider himself a Jew fisrt and then a part of America.\n\nI consider myself an American Jew, so being Jewish is more important to me, but I love being and American.

There is a comparison:\n1.Both kill civilians because they believe they are fighting for a  just cause.\n2. Al Qaeda behead the innocent using a blade, the Americans behead with Daisy Cutters and other missiles.

Geographically no, the continent consists of North and South American, so in that sense (and if you also lump Europeans, Arabs, Indians, Chinese etc. together as Eurasians) they are all American.\n\nCulturally, politically and as inhabitants of a country that calls itself 'America the free', whatever its correct title then of course they are...by definition.\n\nGenetically or even biologically if you regard Homo sapiens as having sub-species, most Americans are in fact European or African etc. The only true Americans in historical times are full-blood native Indians.
