They do. British English, as apposed to American English, Australian English, Jamaican English, ect.

You weren't a fan of learning things in school were you? Were you the football jock who skated by on his good looks or the fat nerd with such low self-esteem that you didn't even bother doing homework because you knew you were destined for failure? Either way, you got he short end of the straw if you A). thought you made a point, or B). thought this was a cute, wacky, and totes XD random joke to make.

it's the prescriptivism that I object to.
English has always thrived because most of the attempts to apply laws to it have failed.
It naturally evolves and develops over time.
But Noah Webster decided that the u had to go. Not for any other reason than he thought it should.
Same with defence/defence, theatre/theater, cancelled/cancelled, prioritise/prioritize.
It was conscious effort to separate American English from English.
So fuck Webster.

Typical bong: you just don't understand history.
The word "soccer" was invented by you crooked-toothed fags and officially used to describe that boring sport about 18 years before "football." In fact, "football" was a catch-all word used for a number of different sports; including that gay stepchild of real football, rugby.
It was really just the idiotic masses (as is so prevalent in bong-land) that couldn't figure out how to pronounce soccer properly (because you can hardly read) that changed it to football.
Unfortunately, when you cromags finally pushed the word "football" as the official-official word to the rest of the world in the late 1800s, the greatest sport known to man, REAL football, was already invented in the US.
Like driving on the left side, calling underpants "pants", and fries "chips", you morons are wrong again.

To clear it up usually we say "hot chips" if we're talking about what americans call fries
Just "normal chips" for the others
