In the age of texting and short cut writing is the world going to go towards American English for formal writing?

Asked by JLeslie (65448points) June 22nd, 2011

American English tends to have fewer letters than British English. Color, honor, donut, omelet, and on and on. Is American English the compromise between writing one letter words like r, u, c, and writing out doughnut? Or, is simply two different things altogether?
