Opinion of referring to the Labour party as 'Labor'?

[Oldiesfreak1854]

In countries that use the British spelling of the word, I think it's pretty awful and intellectually dishonest.

I prefer British spellings —The Queen's English is best English.

And Z is pronounced "zed." 

Anyway, the language differences between American and British English have always annoyed me.  Brits were speaking English way before Americans were, so I don't see what right we have to mess with it.

You say that as if the English spoken in England today is the same as it was in 1780.  It's not.  They've changed, so have we (and so has all her other colonies).

True, but I would argue that even British English in its modern form is the purest form of English, because it comes from the region where the language originated.
