Heritage Minister James Moore announced today that Canada will stop using British grammar and spelling in favor of American grammar and spelling. The move came after the one millionth time MS Word tried correct “favour” in a document he was working on that “curried favour” to lobbyists.
“It makes perfect sense really in these tough economic times. Reducing the number of letters in a word has the potential of saving tax payers pennies in paper and ink—pennies that can be squandered on people who already have it too good.”
The jury is still out on the fate of the word “zed”.
