The American is how it is supposed to be.

The British one has the “color” changed changed to “colour” due to British spelling of color.

The Spanish one has an upside down semi colon because in Spanish you write questions like this: ¿Is this an example question?

The French one is because the French number system makes absolutely no sense and to say 99 you have to say quatre-vingt-dix-neuf (meaning 4 x 20 + 19).

I hope this helps somehow.

I mean in code. Not sure how many programming languages are gonna accept “colour”. Or maybe they do and I am wrong, tbf I never thought about it till now.

When it actually comes to the English language that’s a different story.

The image mentions British so I just mentioned Birtish. I am not American or even a native English speaker so don’t come at me. Also I hope the Czechoslovakia part is a joke.

Your comment double posted btw.
