Is this site British?

Is 64Digits a British website? I see that the favorite in favorite users, or favorite games is spelled favourite. That seems very British. Not that I have any problems with Britain, I listen the BBC World Service every night and watch Monty Python and Benny Hill. And I speak English. Another britishsism on the site is the use of the word "Queue," as in, "View Queue." In America, we usually use the word "line." Britain also made the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Jethro Tull, Led Zepplin, Queen, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and most importantly, Spinal Tap.

Blimy Guv'nah, that's a lot of good music!

How was I supposed to know that the red and white format of the site was Canadian in nature? It could have just as easily been Swiss. And if this is site is Canadian, why is it in English only? I saw Canadian Bacon and know that Canada is bilingual English/French. In the movie, when the Americans invade Canada with anti-Canadian phrases spray-painted on their truck, a mounty pulls them over and makes them paint the French translations on the truck as well.

This does have a high British content. This is due to the fact this is a generally non-n00b website and many British people kick arse in all aspects of life.

Also, Canadians are really cool people so they're more likely to come here.

Lots of societies use our instead of or. Australia does it too.

I personally prefer our over or, but I somtimes use or for some words. (color and armour for example)

How is this site American?

Actually, this site is technically American, because America consists of North and South America.

Then I'm calling the site Amerigan, becuase the continent was named after Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci. Even though, he traveled with Columbus, he was smart enough to realize that they had discovered a whole new continent, while Columbus thought it was a chain of islands leading all the way to India. And by the way, the vikings had landed in Canada centuries before then. So we SHOULD call it "Vikings-Found-It-Before-Columbus-But-Not-Before-The-Indians-ica"
