Who are the Cornishmen of America?
I’m not sure if this is a Cornish opinion or not — it seems pretty obvious to me. Webster’s spelling reforms (and this probably generalizes to all phonetic spelling reforms) render language less consistent, and make correct spelling harder, than the etymological (or is it morphological?) approach of British English.
(I think the answer to the question in the title may be “Wisconsinites,” but I could be wrong).
