    They are both correct.

    I prefer color on account of my incredible laziness.

    That's because you have the US-English dictionary installed. The UK-English dictionary spells it colour. As do I.

    Colour is the only acceptable spelling.

    British English should be considered a redundant title...

    I live on both sides of the ocean, so I use both colour and color....Some times the two different spellings are on the same paragraph....Pisses the hell out of Microsoft Word!

    Honestly, need we even discuss this? Colour is the only correct answer and anyone who fails to recognise this fact is clearly very silly indeed.

    I speak proper English as spoken by the English because the English are the ones who invented English and so the Americans aren't really speaking English*

    *As explained by a documentary about the journey of the English language. It was pretty boring

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I like the "u included" version myself Perhaps because I'm aspiring to re-acclaim the English citizenship that my greatx5 grandpa so eagerly gave up? One will never know

    Also, England is beautiful. You will love it

    @Jiro: My boyfriend is forever reminding me that we don't speak English. It makes me sad but it's true We speak American!
