Color or Colour!??

[Squirt]

Well this questioon has always begged me. Which one is corect color or colour? There both the same thing but i have 2 friends who each spell it one or the other way and they always argue about which one is right way to spell it.( School is boring nothing else to do)

Which one is it ?
and which one you use?

[salmissra]

i learned 'colour' back in malaysia
and learned 'color' here in the US.

[0l3n]

Ones for English (colour) and the other one is American.

Dono, I usually switch betwen the two.

[Midori]

It matters which dialect your talking in.

[Azilius]

I know Canada uses colour along with favourite and many others and it's spelt differently in the US.

[Reise]

British English uses more u's in words like colour and armour and favourite. They just can't get with the times.

[Tasdik]

I always say Color

[Verfo]

if u live in usa its color, if u live in any other country it colour

[Rainigul]

In England and the rest of the world that speaks English, it's colour.
In the US, it's color.

I use color.

[DopeX]

Sorry but i love my colour, Canada baby

I think it's the US that can't get with the rest of the world.

I write in Canadian. I use british variants for most spelling. There are certain words (eg: realize) that I spell with a Zed, as well as words that I spell with a C instead of an S.

Centre, Colour, Valour, Honour; and Realize, Tranquilize, Practice.

^ I find this to be the most accepted Canadian dialect; but, when I write for a social studies/humanities class, professionally, or formally I use british variants only.

Heh my sarcasm must be hard to detect. Anyway I agree. We should also switch over to metric already.

[Shynygamie]

It takes less than half a second, and dropping letters in other words makes you look like an idiot. When you write, people can't see your facial expressions or body language; what you write is taken literal and when you write like an idiot you're interpreted as an idiot.

Example:
*Srsly gaiz i noe wut im talkin bout imma collage student
*Seriously guys, I know what i'm talking about; i'm a college student.

[TOloseGT]

so i was reading sherlock holmes yesterday and in it, the word "plough" came up, and i was like holy shit

I use color, but saying colour with an accent on the second syllable is 1337.

[rek]

They are both the same. If i use american way of spelling on essay papers i would lose marks.

[satman83]

Well what it comes down to is which came first...and thats colour, the American
spelling (like most American words) has changed over the years and become something
different, something not right.

[takolin]

I was taught that it's colour.

The teacher would deduct marks if we wrote color in an essay.

Colour FTW, you silly Americans.

So I guess the way the English language has evolved, and common law, is garbage too? Stupid Brits and their liberal systems of language and law. I guess you must be pissed that William the Conqueror fucked with your pure English and turned you into a broken-french speaking pastry.

Heh, I bet you're the type of guy that uses 'KK' instead of 'M' huh ?

[Swindler]

I always say Color

[Stress]

I was taught "colour" and like using it this way.

[Psychedeelic]

difference between Brittish English and US English.. both correct I guess

[Dark Shifty]

i use color because my firefox has a spell check thingy and it says colour is wrong. so firefox is biased towards color and therefore, me to.

but also, that was the way i learned to spell it so ya...
