Corporate Name Changes

post #1 of 51
4/4/08 at 3:03pm
Thread Starter 
So the company that I work for is undergoing a name change (finally aligning itself more closely with the parent company - an Irish one). The name of our North American division (keeping some anonymity) ______ Ingredients & Flavours. Flavours. Most of the business for this division is in the US. Can't we keep the proper US spelling of Flavor? Do we need a big sign proclaiming not an American company? *sigh*

I say this with just a little frustration due to having to re-do some permit changes to properly spell Flavour. /end rant.

Hey, how do you think I feel when I see The Medicine Shoppe. No they just had to add that "pe" to the end just to bust chops.

Flavour is more intense and pleasing that Flavor.

Unless your last name is Flave. Flavour Flave would just be stupid.

Give in to the U. The U is right, the U is good.

Flavour, honour, colour, harbour. See, doesn't that look better? It's okay America, you can admit you were wrong.

Yor wrong!

Seriously though, this is just like the metric system/imperial system thing. The rest of the world does it the right way, but you just can't admit it. Come on, give in. It would feel so good!

Look, just accept the fact the addition of the U is just silly as is the use of a q in Cheque isntead of Check and the flipping of ER in Center.

I used to have an auto spellchecker on this browser but had to disable it because I couldn't switch it from American Gammer to like, Proper Grammar. Kept trying to remove the U.
Werewolf Girl is right...embrace the U. You will know only Louve.

The fact that you guys don't spell a bunch of things the way everyone else in the English speaking world does is kooky shit. Ever think of that? Huh, didja?

I guess we can take back Pamela Anderson, that's only fair. And anyway, we can just set her adrift somewhere up north. No one will notice.

Won't her breasts offset the natural tide patterns in the ocean and possibly cause more damage?

Yeah cut this shit out right now: Celine Dion is indicative of Canadian women the way Sarah Jessica Parker is of American Girls. You want me to post that picture of SJ Skeletor that did the rounds last week?
No.
No you dont.
