It is the same as in favorite. In Britain they spell it favourite. Here in the US both versions are acceptable. My friend thought that you could only spell it favourite.

You realize the British came first right? So color is just an American spin of it.

I'd have to say the most mispelled word is "you" for "u".

It's not a short form, it's just pathetically stupid.

Yea, the American's are the ones that dropped the "u" in words like colour and favourite. There is a good reason for it though, for printing news and books, it cuts down on the costs a bit, just think, there are a lot of words that have the "u" dropped. If they had to use the "u" it can add aleast a whole new page or more because it pushes everything over each time.

Despite this being outside the flame forum, I speak for everyone when I say you're an idiot.

The only word that ever gives me trouble is definetly. I probably spelled it wrong there, too.

Fuck it!
