    We can use both, but I prefer to use <i>colour</i> and we don't get points deducted here if we spell is the lazy way either. Yes, <i>color</i> is the lazy way because you all just don't want to use an extra keystroke.

    I use Color. I would say because its how i was taught but I also say Armour over Armor and I was taught the second, so maybe I'm just crazy like that.

    I spell it Colour. It kinda annoys me how Americans take our language, change a few letters, and then call it their own.
    "I speak AMERICAN". No, really, you don't. You speak english.

    uhhhhhh Americans dont exactly "take" the language. America started from English people, so English is the native language. And, In my four years of living here, I've never heard anyone say they speak "American"

    This topic made me look at the words color and colour so long I stopped being able to recognize them and wondered if they were miss-spelled. But I was taught colour.

    Wow, indeed. A glimmer of hope for the public education system.

    Frankly, I don't care about how I spell it. I think it is quite stupid that your teacher took off points for saying "colour" instead of "color". If she fails to recognize both as legitimate spellings, then I have doubts about how your teacher got their job.
