:::The way I heard it, the Americans wanted to prove their independence from the British even in their spelling. Anyway, we have previously decided to favor American spelling over British, given that Halo is American in origin. Even though "centre" isn't actually a typo and is still sometimes used in America, I felt it was best to remove it from the main page to set a precedent of American spelling. It may not have much effect, but it could deter some well-intentioned American newbie from using the British spelling on purpose (some wikis use British only, like the Harry Potter wiki). --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="000000">Dragon<font color="FF0000">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 18:38, 16 April 2007 (UTC) | :::The way I heard it, the Americans wanted to prove their independence from the British even in their spelling.
