My fellow Americans, it is spelled "color" not "colour".

[FelixDeCat]

Yes, we all love our fellow citizens from around the world, but we do not need to emulate them when it comes to the spelling of certain words.

It is spelt:
color, not colour
flavor, not flavour
behavior, not behaviour

And while Im at it, its:

$500 not 500$

It is important to preserve the American way of doing things for future generations. Thanks for your careful consideration. 🙂

Yes, my "bad", I missed that. Thanks for supporting my effort to preserve the American way of life.

I'm actually moving towards using American spelling because it's the defacto standard in programming languages. I don't think either is better or worse so I'm happy to use the one that is more standard in my industry. When I'm talking to online friends from NZ I use NZ English (pretty much British spelling).

I never tire of seeing that.

I wholeheartedly agree with your line of thinking. While I do appreciate the variety of Earth's humanity and its way of doing things that differ from America, some things simply can not change - and that is our way spelling, our date format, imperial measurement and the fact that we drive on the correct side of the road. Heck, we even walk on the same side of the sidewalk as we drive on the road. If these things changed, I would be totally lost. :'(

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Whoa now, let's not go crazy. Your date format is still full of fail.

But to be fair, almost all date formats are full of fail.

You gotta problem, pilgrim?

Aluminium

 

[KillerCharlie]

Aluminium

That's not the way it was originally named - the British changed it.

 

[KillerCharlie]

Noah Webster was a genius - he's the one that removed all the usless letters like the u from color. Too bad he died before he could fix everything.

Just trying to give you a more colored vocabulary. I'm handicapped by my cheesehead upbringing in that I had very limited exposure to such things.
