Quick question

[Alphathree33]

And this is honestly NOT a troll. I really don't know.

Do Americans put a 'u' in fourth, or is this a Canadian thing?

The Fourth Amendment?

Surely you guys aren't calling things The Forth Amendment, are you?

I get confused, because you say color not colour, neighborhood not neighbourhood, and so on.

But I think all of us can agree on Fourth, right?

(I'm registering a domain name with the word 'fourth' in it, which is why I'm concerned)

confusing because it is four and fourth, but the u is dropped when it is forty.

 

[FoBoT]

forty four

four thousand four hundred and forty four dollars and fourteen cents

Something Galligher pointed out..

closest I could find....

"This is going to be hard." But I knew it was because of the words that should rhyme but don't: GOOD FOOD. Why should I be serious about the language when the language isn't going to be serious to make sense? Other examples: BOMB TOMB COMB; comb rhymes with home; HOME SOME; some rhymes with numb. And it gets worse; WORSE HORSE; LAUGHTER DAUGHTER; ACHE MOUSTACHE; BEARD HEARD. Let's get simple: GO DO. Now these aren't two words off in a corner that we don't use anymore. This doesn't make sense."
