The British were also fighting the French or on the verge of having another war with France.  Which made fighting the colonists too expensive to continue.  Besides they still had Canada as a place they could station troops and keep us in check.  The War of 1812 was the revolutionary war, part 2.  But, by then any chance of getting us back into the empire was gone.  The same thing happened, too many fronts to fight a war on, Napoleon was giving the English Government a great deal of concern.  Plus, they finally decided that America as an independent trading partner was better for all concerned.

Do you really think that they wrote the orders to fire, and passed them down the line?

They're spelled color, aluminum and realize.

Anyways, If you're not too busy, this sounds like a good thing to start a war over.

I've got my No.4 Mk.1 Lee Enfield ready to go.... you can have your damn .303 back, bullets first!!

fuck. aluminium

You have no idea how odd it sounded when I first started listening to the BBC.
It adds a whole new syllabul to the word. Most of the spelling differences are
just that, but this one really took me for a ride.

interesting history it seems:
Quote
Americans adopted -ium for most of the 19th century, with aluminium appearing in Webster's Dictionary of 1828. In 1892, however, Charles Martin Hall used the -um spelling in an advertising handbill for his new electrolytic method of producing the metal, despite his constant use of the -ium spelling in all the patents he filed between 1886 and 1903.[14] It has consequently been suggested that the spelling on the flier was a simple spelling mistake.[citation needed] Hall's domination of production of the metal ensured that the spelling aluminum became the standard in North America; the Webster Unabridged Dictionary of 1913, though, continued to use the -ium version.

In 1926, the American Chemical Society officially decided to use aluminum in its publications; American dictionaries typically label the spelling aluminium as a British variant.
