Does ANYBODY who speaks this hodgepodge of the English language and in any of its permutations throughout this planet EVER pronounce the words "humor", "labor", "color"(and please excuse the "missing" U in those words there, if you would ) as "Hoom-ow-r", "Laab-ow-r", and/or of course, "Kal-ow-r"???
You see, the great and learned american, Mr. Noah Webster WAS right afterall, wasn't he?!
Jut a min, heer, Dwite. By yoor lojic, we shood be spellin the werdz as hewmer, laber and culer, so I don't think the esteemed Mr. Webster had it exactly right either. Best we can say is that he simplified things. Alternatively, perhaps he was just a wee bit lazy.
Well, I "gotta" say "u" make an "xcellent" point "thair", Peter ol' boy!!! 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
