Aeroplane
Why is the title airplane and not aeroplane? Aeroplane is the original spelling, airplane is just a later Americanisation.
I mean really, reading through wikipedia articles you'd think that bloody Americans invented the English language, it's pathetic.
Commonwealth English first then American spelling that's how it should be done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TraitorBagel (talk • contribs) 10:21, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- Actually airplane was coined by Brits too.[1] Rmhermen (talk) 19:24, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- A very civilized interjection. I was about to write how Euro-centric this article is leaning, by barely mentioning the Wright Brothers without any pics of the Wright Flyer. However, to be clear, the American-British spelling of articles has clearly been stated in the Wiki rules.63.152.251.85 (talk) 09:45, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, lol. First off, English people sure didn't invent the language, either. Only constructed languages have inventors. Second off, while Americans didn't invent the language, I can think of one very relevant large flying machine that they did invent. Red Slash 18:55, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
- It's not just this article, it's the entirety of wikipedia. It always puts 'word' or 'word (British English), like American English is where English came from. I wonder if the German Wikipedia has this problem with Austrian German, or Portuguese has this problem with Brazilian Portuguese.
