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!

Yes we do. We say, "Go to the back of the line, you poopy-face line cutter!" The British might say, "Go to the back of the queue, you bloody line-cutter!" I haven't dealt with lunch lines, (or lunch queues) since kindergarten, so my vulgarities may be out of date.

hmmm…. Not many people look at this one anymore… Is this my 100th post? Does it count since it's on my own blog? Will the mods delete it for being an attempt at getting 100 posts for no good reason? Will they leave it up, but not let it count for the 100, while leaving a nasty message about how posts used to increase the comment number aren;t allowed?
