Before you call on me for misspelling my topic title, that's the point of this thread.

Which do you people use, "color" or "colour"? I've always been used to colour myself, even though it's not the American way to spell the word. It looks more like the sound of the word than color. Color sounds like colon, and that's not very colourful.

what this is confusing i thought u just posted ure fav color

The difference between the US way of writing, and all other writing English is an interesting topic. And it is really americans making weird words from normal words (bad pun). Well that is the result of having all of Europe traveling and mixing.

I say Zed instead of Zeeeeeeee...

And I think just because of this site, I spell armor instead of armour.

armour or armor?


Until recently, I've spelled it in the un-American way, armour.

Since our country is US-influenced, we use "color".

Although Canada Borders the U.S., we use 'Colour'. Technically speaking, colour comes from the french couleur, so colour is closer.

Color is the best way. Why add an extra letter. Or is it letteur?

Color is the best way.

How can you say that? "My way of spelling is better than your way". The Enlish way is the oldest of these two, since America have such a short history.

Sorry I don't know what enlish is.

Thanks for the mockery.
English. The language from where American originate from.
