Seriously this may seem like a small thing, but it really gets on my nerves whenever I see Saviour spelt without the U. To me it looks like a spelling mistake, whats the harm in adding a little option?
What do u guys think?
Add the option to have Savior title have a U in it!

Even though I can not see this happening, I would love for 'savior' to be spelt correctly with the U 
I could go on a long rant about the British creating the language and therefore our spelling is correct etc etc but... I'll leave that for another day :P

What about Armor and Favor, want that changed too?
I don't think we could have an 'option' of the way a word is displayed. To make this viable, Anet would need to implement another Language: - American English and British English.

It's spelled Savior, and that's how it's gonna stay. Suck it up.

Unless you're kinda new to the internet, you should know that American-English usually takes dominance over British-English.
What Arduinna said is right.
To solve your problem, a new language would need to be implemented
and for what exactly? 60% more U's?
I've always typed using British-English because that's what I was taught.
However, I was also taught the american spellings for certain words.
So it doesn't bother me at all to read a few words that have a letter missing. o.O
Something that does bother me though, is the american formatting of dates...
MM/DD/YY is just ...strange. Especially when the day shown is before the 12th, because then I can easily mistake it for a british formatted date =P
(...and no, I'm not suggesting to change date formatting, lol)

This really doesn't bother me in the least (I use Australian English), and no offence, but I don't think anyone other than you cares at all either.

In some cases Wiki decides not to recognise words spelt the British way, and will only accept it Americanised.
This kinda annoys me more than reading it spelt differently... as I automatically spell it with the 'u' and would like it to realise that it's the same thing.
I noticed it used to redirect to the page more in the past but dunno, seems to fail more nowadays

If your going to call a language English, it should be British English, as in, English that comes from England. /end rant.
I dislike the the American way of spelling, the date formatting is annoying aswell. Since they have so many other languages in game, why not add the two variants of English for GW2?
Also another word for the list, "customized"

i use Australian English (same as British) and honestly, it's just a game,
i don't care if its spelled savior or saviour, flavour flavor, honor honour, centre center, metre meter.
its the same difference, doesn't effect the game play at all.

To 59 million of you, "savior" might look mispelled.
To 251 million of us, it looks correct.
Really... it's the same. They're both acceptable spellings somewhere.
I'm just curious as to how many of you realized I misspelled "misspelled".
Eragon Zarroc
it's already spelled correctly ;-) why change what is already correct =D

Its beyond my thought process to understand why people let the smallest things in life bother them. Last time i checked, there are so many huge problems in the world to be brought to attention......yet a certain word spelling variation eats at your soul. Whats really bothering you?
Crassus Praetor
I've thought about this before and while it would be nice to have the English (*cough* original) spelling, I couldn't really see it adding much to the gaming experience.
Never the less if it were an option in GW I would have it ON.
I would also be using the option to stop people using 'then' in place of 'than'

Guild Wars' English is American English, like its Spanish is the Spanish from Spain.
You can't pretend them to add ne language version for every quirk in every language in any region of the world.
You can always try Bork! Bork! Bork! if you hate so much like American English.

A relevant study done by ANET Institute of English Language and Dialects shows this will motivate English GW players to be more interested in playing than just leeching or Botting... NOT.
At least you could make me laugh for a change.

The English have a wide history of tolerance of other cultures apart from their own.

Savior is Saviour whether it's spelled with or without a U. It bothers me when I see misspellings, but if I were playing a British game I wouldn't be bothered by the way that the words are spelled there. There are several forums that I go to based in Europe where they don't have the 'American' option when you're picking your language, and I don't really care when I see favour instead of favor.
While it would be a nice change for those that are affected by it, I think that at this point it's a very superfluous fix for a very minimal problem.

Although I am British and I would prefer the words to indeed have a "u" in them, it's something I tolerate (as a programmer I have to thanks to M$ and poorly set-up company's systems for this).
What I would like to see is correct spelling and grammar from players within the game.
"U R SO PR0", "U B GONE B4 I GT BCK?" are examples of that which really get to me. Height of laziness, leet speak and the likes - it's this I would love to see changed.
Cue AreaNet with their new auto-correction system to change "U" to "you", "b4" to "before"....
If only
But this would really push the laziness boat out to deepest waters...

Those who make their game in accordance with their everyday way of life have no obligation in changing it.
It's like with games that do not come from the United States, they spell things different with things like "u" in them or the "re" instead of "er".
And guess what? People in America still play them, my oh my... I don't see much of a problem if we deal with it just fine.

Well, being American and all... Seeing the British spellings myself annoys me to no end. I mean, quite honestly I think they're just retarded. Then again, that's just because of the way I was taught.
As such, I'd say were I in your situation, I'd probably feel the same, except reverse; so, adding British English isn't a horrible idea -- just keep it away from me. :P
Chance of this happening though, realistically?
Not high on the totem poll of "things to do" for Anet, me thinks...
