The English spellings are more commonplace in Europe, Canada, and previous British colonies, which is a rather large area

Sure, but as was said earlier; it's not like the game is going to go to kilometers per hour or meters and kilograms (or whatever the weighing scale is in most areas of the world).

I'm not making a huge fit about "organisation" over "organization". It was a joke, although I would really like to be able to change it myself if it isn't going to be changed.

Actually, the same kind of debate occurred over EHM as well. And not just spelling, but terminology as well since the terms used to describe certain things are different in Europe as compared to North America.

What we here think of as the "schedule" is "fixtures" there, and what we'd call "standings" is "table" over there, just to name two examples.

So there is a legitimate debate here; the question is how much importance should be placed on the language differences.

Something like schedule and standings I can under stand. This case mention is just a small spelling difference between two cultures. Not so much a big deal, but I think it should be 's' since a majority of the customers are US English speaking folks, I believe.

I've gotten so used to reading both British English and American English that I didn't even notice that. That's what you get for having both British and American schooling.

If the majority of the customers are US English speaking, it should be "z"...

I'm split on the issue. I'd use "z" in words like organization, but on the other hand I tend to use "colour" instead of "color" and "theatre" instead of "theater."

I could really carelezz about how the game is zhipped, az long az I can change it after the fact.

It'z really not that big of a deal . I juzt have nothing elze to do until zchool ztartz except complain about little thingz. That and get my pozt count up becauze of my extended abzence .

Maybe we should just let Markus do it all in German. That would also satisfy all the people who want to make it harder. And maybe it could be done sooner, too.

The above quote works even better if you imagine it being said in a German accent.

If I was buying a hockey game I wouldn't expect them to change "centre" to "center".

Individual preference, I guess. It also seems as though I'm in the minority so I'll just stop posting about it. I guess I would like to see it done the way that I know, the way that I will teach my students and the way that I will teach my kids. (That is unless it is changed; which I highly highly highly doubt).

My final words: I just hope that there is a way to change it.

When the discussion is about completely different words, it's valid in my mind. When it's the spelling of a word, it's much less so.

Scarily enough, I do the exact same thing.

I wonder if the game will use "y'all" or "yous guys"...

SO....... Since I am buying a baseball game, or at least I was told I did. (As of right now I still haven't received any email from eliscence) I expect to see American spellings and terminology. But if not I can certainly live with it.

Or better yet since Markus and SI were kind enough to offer a 7 dollar discount I should just shut my mouth and enjoy the product when it comes out in the spring!
