I don't know why but I have started spelling stuff with "u" some several months ago. Armour, colour, flavour, etc, etc. Why did the U.S. started changing this spelling in the first place? As for the topic at hand, I do find it funny when folks do say "Speak American". It's obvious majority of the time "American" refers to United States citizens but many seem to forget there's dozens of countries who are part of the Americas. Hell, we're even called United States of America. I have no actual facts to back this up, but it may have something to do with it being cheaper to print those words on a printing press if you can get away with taking a letter out of them. --- http://i.imgur.com/5o0NjZx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Dh6J81G.jpg <cite>TIE543 posted [p:886606819] in English is...
