Reasons why Google shouldn't tell me that the word optimisation is a miss-spell

Now I know all of you Dper's like to have a pop at me for spelling search engine optimisation with an s in the optimisation, but I have come up with some valid reasons for why Google shouldn't tell me that it is a miss-spell when I am searching in the UK (Google.co.uk):

Give it a Digg if you feel me.

 

The truth is Americans undeservingly dominate us.

 

truth is, the algorithims dont know what nationality you are, and as such recommend "optimization" which is far more popular than "optimisation". If you get enough people searching for "optimisation" and there are enough pages on the internet using the word "optimisation" it will eventually stop recommending you "optimization"

Spell it how you like to spell it, put historical and political reasons into it, and prove that your way is correct. English has no spelling rules anymore, its an international language. The majority decides But when i am in the UK, i will spell it with an "s" When i am in the U.S.- with "z" Google chose the majority "z"

 

well i think when your using google.co.uk its probably fairly obivious that your from the uk.

 

A search for optimisation returns 27,500,000 results. Up to 1000 of those results (all google will show) do use optimisation, not optimization. That seems like enough people using it to justify google not asking if I meant optimization. They even ask it in google.co.uk which is really irritating. I dugg.

 

Yes, i agree, so in google.com they should ask, did you mean "optimisation"

 

oh I LOVE that idea.

Even better would be somebody british creating a fantastic UK search engine that we could use instead of google and then we could query all the US miss-spellings.

 

Really the proper spelling should be how the English spell it, being the English language and all...
