It seems strange that someone would be offended by the US variant being called "simplified" spelling — wasn't that the whole point?

Maybe they meant people who don't want to be considered traditional...

I’m an American and not offended in the least. It is simplified (color vs the obviously incorrect UK variant colour). Gray va grey. y’all is a great addition to the Simplified English.

Despite being told long ago by a drunk English visiting student that “the language is English not American” I’ll stand by our American simplification! Lamentably this simplification seems to be backtracking our political system…but hey we’re going from Discord to Revolt!
