Well, I've been thinking, "Americans have a pretty easy way of spelling things" (don't quote me on that). And then I go look at a bunch of british vids on youtube and see that they use o and u to make the or sound. So wats the deal?
It's part of their language. It just is. I don't see why it's confusing to you. Besides, British English has been around for longer than American English, so the real question would be, why don't you have it?
I think its cause us Americans are lazy and wanted to make it shorter.
Actually, it is simply lingual evolution. America was birthed from England, so we formed our own version of English. It happens through all of history. Compare modern English to Old English. Major difference, but it's still English.

Way to be racist.
How do we know YOUR not misspelling things? (don't tell me you language came first i know that) Why do you spell pants, trousers? Why do you spell friend, mate?

The languages aren't too different with the exception of a few words. I normally leave out the 'u' because it's what I'm used to do doing from typing this way online for several years but when in school or writing papers for school I add in the 'u'.
Yes, it was our language first, but we're letting you use it, and we don't want to have to take it back. So don't question it and don't complain about it!
