I really don't care but I generally spell it "colour".

I side with British spelling for most things. Paycheque, defence, honour, licence. But other things, I prefer the American spelling, like aluminum, center, tire.

Worc'stersh'r.

Worcestershire has the first e dropped as it indicates a soft "c", the i is dropped for allowing "sh" to roll in to "r" for quicker pronunciation and the last e is dropped to indicate a soft "r".

English takes its words from several different languages, that continuity doesn't make sense.

Again, Americans don't know what they're doing with English so they drop relevant parts.

Oh, and you'll also notice that the phonetic spelling is not similar to what you posted, nor does the British-sounding fellow in the audio clip pronounce it like you posted.

Both are the same. Do you not know IPA or is the issue that US pronunciation is so alien that I missed some weird way you guys speak?

It really isn't, when i hear an american say colour they pronounce it colore, lore on the end. Dropping the u has literally made them pronounce the word differently. It's the same with mom and mum.

Brits use both s and c, it depends on whether you are using the word as a noun or a verb.

I can see how this is better than just pronouncing things using all the letters in the word.

This is pronouncing using all the letters, except for the i which is more a colloquialism than strict Oxford.
