Ouchies, on being an American.

A language invented purely by accident during world World War II when a shipment of the letter "u"'s from Britain to America was bombarded by Nazi missiles, hence the lack of the letter "u" in American words, such as: color. Because of the event, many Americans were confused so they started replacing "s"s with "z"s (customise -> customize). The change to "z" actually makes sense, though, since "s" and "z" are different sounds, and giving the "z" sound to "s" was a dumb fucking idea in the first place.
