Hout Bay FTTH rollout

Color. You seem to have made a huge point about it in that post.

Fibre and colour are correct, fiber and color incorrect.

It seems you forget from time to time that you're in South Africa.

You seem to have forgotten that South Africa is culturally diverse. To state a strict opinion over someone else's understanding, will not make you South African.

Johnatan56 knows very well that's it's fibre and colour, he is just trying to be obtuse.

Telkom has started rollout on the valley road.I know this for sure. The hout bay internation shcool also has fibre already.

frogfoot/linkedafrica moved their focus elsewhere for the moment. I have seen lightspeed cars around but I am not sure if they have put anything in the ground. they are super expensive

What a load of crap. I don't know where or how you were educated. South Africa uses British English as do all the other Commonwealth countries. What we're dealing with here is a matter of fact, and not up for debate.

Many regions, notably Canada, Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and the Caribbean, have developed their own native varieties of the language. As such, generalisations cannot be made about the various forms of English used by the various member nations of the Commonwealth.

English is the official language, nowhere does it state that it is British English. American English is also included.

It is common knowledge that British English is the English used in South Africa.

Fibre, not fiber.

Not really common knowledge for international schools in South Africa. I know a few schools who teach the SAT standard for Americans who live here, of which, still want a decent education.

Obviously American schools are an exception. Obviously.

 

[jackshiels]

So all those American settlers here in the 1800s really used American English to make a mark on the linguistics of SA

No it isn't, please point me at an official proclamation.

De facto, hard to deny too.

It's an older post but:
fiber
fiber
fiber

90% of all the inventions involving fiber were made by Americans/Germans (who also use American spelling). http://www.timbercon.com/history-of-fiber-optics/

Both are correct.
