now where the problem lies is,
which variant of english text-to-speech engine would you be using?

(US)English, (Canada)English (UK)English, (India)English, (Kenya)English, (Australia)English or which one?
With US English being the most disoriented from the rest, it would make sense to refrain from the use of US speech engines as the most of us are not from the US.
US pronounces anti as antai, fungi as fungai, etc. whereas most countries pronounce it more similarly to how those words are spelt.

US spelling is different too.

suppose Yyotta picks up a word.

US participant: "center"
anyone from outside US: "centre"

In such cases, the US participant would be marked wrong for their altered way of spelling.

The simple solution to that is to just allow any spelling of a word that is considered "correct" by dictionaries. Using your example, both center and centre could be considered valid answers when given a word pronounced like /ˈsen(t)ər/.

If you've been using the US way of spelling instead of the standardised spelling, your teachers should be deducting your marks.

I've been in the US for too long to know other pronounciations apparently. I will try to pick words that may have multiple spellings but sound the same (so no more diarrhea).

both are correct. it depends on what you're more comfortable with honestly.

the differences in spelling and pronunciation make each variation in english called a dialect

This is just for fun so there are no awards and I'm just going to assume that nobody cheats. If somebody does cheat then they will be killed.

Let me explain

So in that comic you can see that the british and A another country in war, probably america? Or you can say english people, white people are at war and as you know, british people spell rumor with an 'U' "Romour" . So the commander was smart, seeing his british spelling tell him that he is a spy.

Its funny because its a stupid joke

Well Yyotta isn’t a good cat

Shit she’s not even a cat, she’s a demon
Manishh
Demon cat?

You can't just say that she isn't good just because she is a demon bro, that's a bad thing to say about someone

I understood the meme,
my reply was adding to how illogical it would sound if you actually label someone as "English" when he uses the spelling that is used outside of the US.
I recall another meme where someone was labelled "Canadian" for using the pronunciation "Zed" instead of "zee"
