Oh! I actually know the answer to this one! American newspaper ads charged by the letter, so a lot of people would eliminate unnecessary letters like the second L in “cancelled” or the U in “colour”. Some of these spelling changes were used so often that they stuck, and now Americans just spell some words differently.

In summary: Americans spell things weird because capitalism

someone just started blasting the indiana jones theme music on this train and i can’t tell who it is

but bless them

Apparently if you play the Indiana Jones theme music at an archaeological dig like half the people reach for their phones

#the other half reach for their phones if you play the jurassic park theme

There are only two genders: Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones

@uss-edsall can you confirm?

I mean, my ringtone is indiana jones

here’s a video of my old professor

I find the twilight renaissance funny, and I’m all for eliminating cringe culture, but let’s remember that smeyer changed Quileute legends and beliefs to fit her narrative, gave animalistic/abusive traits to her Native characters, reinforcing the uncontrollable “savage” stereotype, made the “pure”, pale vampires constantly insult and antagonize the werewolves (whose land they were living on) for no reason, and overall wrote some pretty racist stuff about her Native characters

they straight up have a whole website dedicated to dispelling misconceptions made popular by meyer: http://www.burkemuseum.org/static/truth_vs_twilight/
