Dear oh dear ...it is something when an American comments on language.

...Colour.... aaaargh a whole can of worms exists in that one word.




Yep, that's RIGHT, Eric. Lets remember here that is was that great American lexicographer, Noah Webster, who in the early 19th Century had the cojones to RID the language(okay okay, the great AMERICAN version of this language anyway) of all those French (SPIT!) influences that YOU guys never had the cojones to DO, and such as that superfluous letter "u" in the word "COLOR" among many other similarly SPELLED words!

And NOT to mention the word "CENTER"! I mean C'MON now, dude! Do even YOU GUYS over there on that little island ever say "CENT-re"(and how freakin' French AGAIN..SPIT..is THAT I ask ya?), OR do ya pronounce it "CENT-er", HUH?!

(...and even WITH the letter "R" you guys continue to refuse to pronounce...I mean c'mon AGAIN here, dude..."Would I care for a glass of 'WHOA-tah'?"..."OH, you mean 'WA-ter'? Why, SURE, I wouldn't say no to a glass of 'WA-ter', thank you very much!")


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)
