    Curios sounds like a cereal. Possibly invented by Marie Curie filled, possibly with nuclear radiation.

    And i will fight until coulour is an accepted spelling of the word

    But i guess the question doesnt apply to me because im not american

    Given that my pre-school teacher was British, I've always jumped back and forth between British and American spellings. I do have to say, there is certainly something dignified about the optional u, but I often get a lot of crap for using it (from peers and teachers alike).

    That's not dignified, that's retarded. You cannot deny, however, that honour > honor.

    Never seen them spelled like that. One of them is a Spanish bastardization, and well, the other is just... not sure how you got that one.

    Depends on the word. I've found that I use British spellings for 8+ letter words.

    I like how you Brits treat your precious u's when you see Americans not using them in "-or" endings.
