COLOR HONOR CHECK LITER QUARTER POUNDER WITH CHEESE

The really dumb thing about writing 'color' instead of 'colour' is that you made it even more inaccurate. It should be culler. Which, conveniently, has a u.

Whenever I see 'color' I think of colon as well. Just out of curiosity, do you guys have the same sounds (aside from the r and n) when you say those two words?

Don't even get me started on the fence, defence, defense issue. Totally inconsistent. It should be fence and defence or fense and defense. The words, apart from the 'de' (which can be said in two different way depending on what definition of defence you are using), are said in exactly the same way.

I think a European said it best when he looked at both languages and said that English is all messed up and American English messed it up even more.

Now USA just need to rename themselves SA and have a large forum :p

SA?

South Africa?

Soth Africa?

I type the words that can either be typed with a "U" or without, the "U" way. I don't put the "R" infront of the "E" though.

I know I don't. I say colour as "cullur."

Or better yet, revive the CSA. Go Jake Featherston!

R in front of the E is awful. Rye. ;) But yeah, I don't think many people I know use centre instead of center. I work for the largest IT company in the UK, let alone Europe, and it's called Computacenter, not Computacentre. So yay.

I use centre. ;_;

I think it looks better.

Colour Honour Cheque...

I tend not to spell things the American way unless it looks better that way (which it rarely does) but the one exception I can think of is the world "Jail" where the alternative, non-american way of spelling it is "Gaol" which honestly, is really stupid looking.

And on which world might they use that spelling or term?

Australia. I'm not sure about other places though.

No. We say it Cul-or and Col-on(this one is just like it is spelled...go figure). Completely different words and a completely different way of pronouncing them.

We say cul-or. We prounounce or and our differently also, so when we say col-or that is how it sounds for the most part also.

It's more of an 'er', really.

Not where I live(midwest). Remember that the United states is big and vast and there are many different accents through out the country.

Maybe in some parts they say Coler but here we say Color.

I think that the only real advantage 'Proper' English has over American English is it's use of 'Aluminium' over that god-awful 'Aluminum'. Everything else is simply a matter of personal preference.
