[EinzingerIsGod]

America is NOT England

[Eliminator]

Amerind is NOT Englica

[YDload]

"Spelled" is NOT spelled "spelt."

[EinzingerIsGod]

Oh shi irony itt

[The Stig]

I remember when Nacho used to yell at me for spelling things the English way. So I stopped because I'm an American.

yeah, your word is the variant, not ours.

[Light__Fantastic]

We invented a language and it was simplified to phonetics by some morons.

[Retrovertigo]

on the topic of grammar, i will switch to an unrelated topic

wordperfect is the worst program ever.

[MrSigma]

the colors duke, the colors!


I'm color blind kid

[Eliminator]

Technically your language was derived

[Pastorius]

yeah, your word is the variant, not ours.

http://www.webster.com/dictionary/color

Etymology: Middle English colour

But also colour came from the latin color. Buuuut, seeing as American English came from British English, not latin, your word is the variant.

I think, I'm a little confused.

[Light__Fantastic]

Technically your language was derived

And it was perfectly fine.

[Chaindrive]

"Spelled" is NOT spelled "spelt."

True, but according to dictionary.com either is correct.

[The Stig]

Hey, guys, this argument is pretty gay.

[sexymuffin]

Give me back my rep assclown



English never was and never will be a proper phonetic language but we've always had little clues placed in the spelling to help you pronounce it

The correct phonetic Pronounciation of Colour is Cul - lah (or kuhl-er) not Co-lor , the u placed there gives you a hint

The consequent bastardisation of the word Colour was intended to change the pronounciation of the word. Since Co-lor isnt as or anymore phonetic than Colour - the sole function of this grammatical error is the removal of the 'u' which takes out the hint and clues of correct pronounciation and encourages imperialist americani(s)*ationisms into the mainstream.

*indicates that your meant to use S instead of a Z.

You're retarded. Hurr let's bold certain parts of alternate definitions to create the illusion that we're right!

[White Riot!]

You're retarded. Hurr let's bold certain parts of alternate definitions to create the illusion that we're right!

actually I bolded the whole of point 2. So no - it is you who needs to learn some basic comprehension

FYI alternate definitions are just as valid as main ones.

[i am the robots]

Colour is NOT SPELT "color"

In American English it bes, bebe gurl.

[ripest]

hey we were given right to bear arms by the ****ing CONSTITUTION

nitpicking will get you nowhere, which is why you're still wrong even though you thought you could choose whatever definitions you wanted at any time

Itz spellered culah

Spotted Dick anyone? :p

but wasnt that your tactic of criticising my post? to nitpick? pot ? kettle? black?

anyway subject discussed is within the bounds of grammar since grammar is basically and vaguely about how to correctly write things.

[YDload]

you seem to think that the British way of spelling is the only right way, but it is not. you may be the home of the mother tongue, but English is all grown up now and it can take care of itself, thanks :)

[Nadinus]

Well said.

[Elmo McCheese]

Everyone knows America pretty much invented England, so 'color' is correct.

[YDload]

it's correct in America but not in England.

[Congratulations]

Or Canada.

[Alf™]

Ok so I spell it colour but just cause White Riot! is a fag, I will spell it color from now on.

no. congratulations on being wrong. highlighting 'pronunciation' is irrelevant; your issue is not with the pronunciation of the word. colour is pronounced the same as color. 'Writing or speech judged with regard to such a set of rules': you may want to take a look at the first half of that point, upon which the second is based. 'standard of usage for pedagogical or reference purposes' does not equal spelling.


this arguement is pretty gay

and you're still wrong
