    Colour. Jeez, I wonder who sits there and makes this shit up...

    What was wrong with the original English spellings? Not good enough for Americans, eh? :s

    The problem with colour is my brain wants to put the emphasis on the second syllable. If anything, let's spell it culler

    haha I like that, culler.

    and I do same, when I read colour, it makes me think the second syllable is supposed to sound like "or" when i pronounce it "er". btw, I'm American, so I was born with it being color, so that's the way I'm used to and the way I write it.

    I remember when I used to see colour I thought it was spelt wrong a long time ago haha.

    I use both, based on my mood, and whom I am talking to.
    Colour is easier for me to type to be honest, and I usually use it on MSN, etc.

    Hey griff721. You use your own currency, why not use your own language?

    Colour looks more proper.
    Color is how it's spelled in American-English.

    I prefer color.

    Not everything. But a few things.
    Example: Rugby -> Football

    I spell like colour, neighbour, favour, but don't pronounce the U like brits do.
    Also, defence > "defense".

    Well, since I have grown up with it, and that is best for my own use of the word "color",( simpler, im used to it, Americanized). I am happy to use "color" as my stated and used word. But, it really doesnt matter. :-)

    I dont think you should be angry at everyone in America for changing to word. I didnt make it up, just grew up in it. Blame American scientists or American English professors. xD. Idk who threw the "U" out of "Colour". Research time? :-0

    "Color" :-)
