Well since Britain invented The English language our way is the correct way to spell English words.
It is COLOUR, FAVOURITE, CHEQUE and THEATRE for instance and not the butchered way the Yanks spell words. --- Hi ... Copied to Clipboard!

THEATRE Actually over here we use that term to, it just tends to refer to the performance art itself rather than the performing house. --- What is the equivalent of taking a shower in an online community? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Cheque, colour, etc. use more letters and are therefore inferior. I actually use both theater and theatre depending on whether I'm talking about the location or the practice. For me, a theater is a location, but someone directing a stage play would be doing theatre work. Yes, I realize that is completely arbitrary and a pointless distinction; that's just something I somehow got in the habit of doing. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's spelled color in Latin, which is the original source of the word.

Actually over here we use that term to, it just tends to refer to the performance art itself rather than the performing house.It's the spelling Regal Entertainment Group uses to refer to their locations.

Colour does reflect the French historical spelling yes (it's couleur in modern French), but is originally from the Latin color either way.

I also use Grey/Gray interchangeably. Other than that the closest I will get is "tyre" and that's if I'm talking about F1. Any other time I need to use that word it's "tire."

They can have the correct way, but we'll keep the BEST way. Wtf is this 'cheque', 'zed', and Ahlooomeeneeium talk?
Best we can do is adopt 'glamour' into our vocabshkis. Otherwise, short spelling, tome-saving 4LIFE. And being from the south this means that the US vernacular ain't safe either. We'll look for ways to abbreviate abbreviated words. --- S / K / Y / N / E ... Copied to Clipboard!
