It's spelled colour, you burbles!

[KentaRawr!]

How many of you Americanos spell using the english spelling rules? I'm just curios. See I can spell like an american too!

You spelled curious wrong.

Wait, curios doesn't send my Spell Check thingy off...

Well, I guess I spell Curious with English Spelling Rules, then.

ReloadPsi kinda won this thread.

I will say, however, that it's Britain who has changed things. Americans are closer to Middle English than we are. Make of that what you will, but seeing as British people seem to get so haughty about it because it's "their" language and they've got all this history and background using it...

Interesting point: Several Royal Navy ships in the 18th century were named 'HMS Enterprize'. Not even the Americans spell that word with a 'z' anymore, even though it makes more sense than an 's'.

As a citizen of Great Britain, and having been a linguistics student in the past, I will vouch for the fact that American spellings make more sense than British spellings whether you like it or not.

Helloooo, Mr. Former linguistic student! Your assistance is needed in the Study Hall forum.

I didnt know it was "bough" rather than "bow". "Colour" just looks better, and the bottom line is it is OUR language that you're speaking :]~
