Is there any way to sell alcohol?

Olio allows you to give it away, but not to offer for sale.  Probably because of the licensing* issue.  I did wonder whether you might get someone willing to give you some money for it anyway if they're especially appreciative when they pick it up, but Olio seems to be fairly strict so possibly not.

(*verb.  Licence is the noun in standard forms of non-US English, but ultimately since the goal of language is communication then in informal settings such as this, if people understand what is meant the specifics ultimately don't really matter )

Should be able to run an alcohol burner on it, slowly heat up the room when doing Octopus Saving Sessions.

Casual offer on a local facebook group?  BTW have we adopted the American spelling of licence now?  It's everywhere.

We may as well, they out number us 5:1 and are far more influential globally

Is this how English kids think now? Can you imagine if the Welsh or Celts tried to let their language slip away to the English like that!

Are you a member of a lot of forums because that is about right for the average member these days. Although you need to leave
characters out of most words and substitute other characters for anything random. 

I had no issues reading it although "without" took me a couple of seconds longer.

They're different languages not just different spellings under the same language... and probably yes, 

Spelling in English wasn't standardised until 1755, Welsh has been changed many times with several changes put in in the 1880s to make printing easier (eg Trefelin became Trevelin), the letter J is an even newer adoption from the English. 

Being realistic we are vastly outnumbered, most that learn English as a second language will learn US spellings. The writing is somewhat on the wall and especially as there is no signular guardian of the language like there is in Spain and France for their respective language.

They haven't had a great deal of success, though, in preventing the arrival of anglicisms in French and Spanish.  The Academie Francaise deprecates the use of words and expressions, suggesting French equivalents, but it cannot control the everyday usage of the language.

I find The Irish Times and The Times of India are good bastions of the language.
