However, I'M just thankful the Brits have never spelled it somethin' like: "bikeur"...with yet ANOTHER superfluous u in it!!!
Dwight, when I lived in Fresno, a lot of developments with the name _______ Point, put an 'e' at the end - "Pointe". Thought they could get 10% more for the fancy "e" upgrade 
Yeah Bob! That superfluous e there DOES kind'a sound like a bit like a stretch in order to make those places sound a little more "classy", doesn't it?!
But HEY, we're talkin' about FRESNO here, and so I suppose if I were in their shoes I'd probably resort to tryin' almost anything to class up the place TOO!!!  
(...I mean, let's face it...it's NOT like it's beautiful downtown BAKERSFIELD there or anything, RIGHT???!!!) 
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)
