Tyres?

Why do the English spell it that way?

 

Queen's English.
Not colonial, convict or pidgeon english

Because our language has evolved rather than being stuck in the colonial
past

 

Actually dear boy it's 'pidgin' not pigeon English...

Yours pedantically..

It must be my posh accent !

Why do the English spell it that way?

Because they were invented in the Mediterranean city of Tyre, of course.
Don't the Yanks know _anything_ ???

 

And the Scot, Welsh, Irish , Australians, Indians (both areas), Chinese
(PRC - HK) etc, etc. - In fact the majority of the English speaking world
and more particularly those who tend to utilise the English language in the
correct vinacular.
