The Blackangel Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 This is just a question about spelling. The majority of answers will just be due to where we're from, as a lot of countries will keep/forego is. Here' in the states, we tend to forego the U. Like in words such as color, whereas in the UK they spell it colour. Myself I tend to forego it except with the word behaviour. I'm not sure why, but I unconsciously add a U in there every time. I'm kinda wanting to know everyone's opinion on this, as well as why they do/don't use the letter U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Since we speak and scribe the King's English on this side of the Atlantic, I could just boil this down to saying you filthy colonials are spelling things wrong, but... You know, that's it. You filthy colonials are spelling things wrong. Seriously though, I have no idea why this and other spelling differences like this happen on the same language.

Anders Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Being Norwegian, I originally learned mostly British english in school, but the most effective learning tool for me was watching movies and TV-shows and playing video games. Most of those were in American english, so that's mostly why I've adopted the American style of writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
