    Default Color or Colour?

    What would you prefer?

    Colour is the original "British" way to spell it. (And is right now giving me a misspelled word underline)

    Color is the "Americanized" version.

    You are probably using a weird Spelling Corrector.
    American is generally just English with some differences (flaws) in spelling.
    This poll is useless, because all Americans will vote Color, while everyone who really knows English will vote Colour.

    Not useless! It'll also tell us who is Europe then eh? But you see maybe some Americans prefer the original spelling or some Europeans like to spell it shorter because its faster? Never know

    Actually, I prefer colour to color, and I'm American.

    I'm American and I voted Colour. Then again I do disagree with most of the stuff happening in America. I like the Old/Not Americanized version because is makes you think about the correct pronunciation.

    Also my Firefox spell checker shows that colour should be color. So it might not be a weird spell checker.

    I am from Australia being brought up in America. My parent use the english/aussie way, so I do. It also make sence that it should be spelled like colour, by just how it sounds.

    :P When I went to England, I heard more grammatical errors per-conversation then I do in America. To say that the British "know" English is laughable at best.

    "Im not think mathew me."
    "That's well good that."
    "'ye all right mate?"
    "I gots me own tee me."

    Just a small sample of regular sentences uttered by the average person in Brittan.

    They are two different standards of spelling, neither if phonetically correct so either is syntactically correct (as long as you don't mix and match).

    Color. It's faster. Yeah, I'm lazy.
    I run in triangles because circles are for squares.

    Well, there is a big difference between the actual pronouncing of the words, and how they write them.
    Yeah, the more regular conversations that you would have with your family or friends differ from the conversations you would have with your boss at work, or teacher.
    I'm pretty sure you also have that in America, we also have that in the Netherlands...
