It's not obvious, and not really possible to add boards to favorites without some activity on the board. If you click on "Favourites & Replies"* at the bottom, you see it says this about favorite boards:


Recommending, or creating, a single post is enough for the board to reach your Favourites. To remove some of these boards from your Favourites, click the Customize icon above.

Your Love Factor is calculated with one point for every 10 post views by you, and one point for every 1 post recommended or posted by you. The boards listed above have all reached a Love Factor of 1.


So indirectly by viewing BRK.A posts, you will have added it as a favorite.

* Interesting spelling choice.

Interesting spelling choice.

My guess is that most people when writing in English would use that spelling. English as a second language generally use British English, and most countries with English as the primary language use British spelling.

Aussi who has to think about the spelling depending on the audience

A simple anecdote to explain it:

I was on a bus from Heathrow to Gatwick once, the only other people on the bus being an American couple. They started laughing at a sign that said "centre". I pointed out that there was only one country in the world that *didn't* spell it that way : )

I was havin some fun. My buddy from the Adirondacks says that when a store adds unnecessary vowels (i.e. "Olde" or "Shoppe") it has the effect of increasing prices significantly.

I guess this is probably referring to India?

Maybe it's time our language was officially renamed "American."

BTW did you hear the Indian Ocean has officially been renamed the Native American Ocean?
