How do you spell it? Why do you spell it that way? I spell it Color. That's just the way I was taught. So have you got any Idea why anyone spells it the other way?

Yeah.

How do you spell it?

What type of English are we talking. In England they would spell it colour, in America we generally spell it color, although colour isn't wrong per-say.

So have you got any Idea why anyone spells it the other way?

Because this is America, where we do things our own way...even if it's not really right.

There was a thread about this some time ago, I remember. I don't know if I'm up to digging through threads or not, but eh. Color is the American way, basically.

Wow... that was a lot of posts in quick succession. Anyway I've always wanted to write "colour" or "flavour" in a paper or something and have my teacher mark it wrong, just to tell them that I'm British or something.

But yeah I found the thread, with almost exactly the same name...

Not sure what to do in this situation...

3 things:

1) I think the other thread is old enough that this thread will not be locked as a duplciate.

2) I spell it color.

3) There is not much to this thread and may be locked as "versus", "favorite", or the like.

I spell it both ways. Colour when I want to be fancy. They spell it different ways depending on how they were taught I guess.

Personally, I've always liked the English way. It seems so much more cultured :P

Though, generally, I just write 'color' when writing a paper or the like. I just have to remember to write with 'u's if I'm writing in an English setting... I'm working on a short story set in England now, actually, for World History class. I'll have to remember that.

3) There is not much to this thread and may be locked as "versus", "favorite", or the like.

I think it well explores the depths of the specialties of dialects and accents and the like. I hardly find it a 'preferred' or 'which is better' - it's how you're brought up, or your sense of flexibility when it comes to the issue.
