I think it can also be called the Four [B]Color[/B] Theorem :)

(As an American:)

Well, we stole your colonies, why not steal the language while we're at it? :smile:

American English is not incorrect. It is simply a variant of British English, which has its roots in the French-Norman conquest of the Anglo and Saxon peoples. Read Bill Bryson's [U]Mother Tongue[/U], it's a good book.

P.S.:
:direction:
Does anyone agree?
