skym Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Wrong? As far as I know both 'color' and 'colour' are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Americans that are being silly. Lets not forget who developed the English language. Go figure, it was the English (British). :)For some reason (probably from too much CSS), I usually write color, not colour. On the other hand, I write honour and flavour, so "color" is definetely an exception for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 First time I heard a candian say that. usually there backing there spelling, well at least the canadians I know. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Like Jonas said it is probably becuase I do a lot of programming and most documentation, example code, etc uses American English...it has just become a habit.
