I take pride in learning how to spell the language I speak... the way it's done properly. US English is a bastardised language to begin with, and it's only in existence because some dipshit wanted to be a rebel...

Except,I highly doubt that after living in the states for years, you speak the Queens English. Too much of speech is learned through habit, so you are already likely speaking American English already. Or the "bastardized" version as you put it. So, if you are speaking that way, you may as well spell that way.

If you research it, you'll discover that British English is a bastardized language in itself. :)

It's English and American English not "British" English, not everyone in Britain speaks English and I'd like to see you understand what a Liverpudlian says. Never the less all languages are bastardised versions of older languages, the difference with English and American English is that English still exists and is still widely used, unlike Latin which most languages are based on and all but died off hundreds of years ago.

English itself is "bastardized," as you put it, from multiple languages, including Latin, Greek and predecessors to modern French, German, Dutch and Scandinavian languages.
Like other languages, English is organic and ever-evolving, with words, phrases and usage standards coming into and falling out of favor regularly. Pretend all you want that randomly using British spelling for words you speak in American English somehow elevates your intellect or sophistication, but you're not fooling anyone - even on this sludge pond of a website. It only makes you look phony and insecure, which you almost certainly are anyway.
