I can. <-- Over there, in the currently green (but soon to be possibly blue, red, or cyan depending on your color preferences) section.

Mmmm oops, what have I started now biggrin.gif

Well it looks like both are correct spellings acording to this......

Quote:
In terms of other spellings, some people may be surprised to find out that some American spellings actually follow an older pattern of British spelling. For example, the traditional British spelling for words such as 'realize' has been the "ize" form, the "ise" variation only gaining currency and preference in the past couple of centuries (My recent Oxford dictionary still clings to the -ize spellings, the -ise forms being strangely absent even as variations). Similarly, for "-our" words, much older English commonly spelled them with the '-or" appropriate to their old French (ultimately) Latin origins. For example, Old French spelled "color", from which English got its word. The French later changed those spellings to -eur, to better reflect the change in pronunciation. While I'm no historian, it's reasonable to presume English writers picked up on this development, and -our became a fashionable variant, now usually preferred in British spelling (altho some words, like 'neighbour" did not come from French and some Latinate words like 'factor" receive no "u' in British spelling).


I always thought the yanks droped the 'u' because the kids could never remember to put it there when being taught, so the powers that be said RIGHT NO MORE 'u' exclaim.gif laugh.gif

Ditto that. I feel the same way. I may try out the colors at first, maybe.

But I'll most likely stick to the script, and use the "original" colors too, for nostalgic
reasons tongue.gif

The farm was used to produce produce.
The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
The soldier decided to desert in the desert.
This was a good time to present the present.
(This last could mean "gift" or "era of time.")
A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
I did not object to the object.
The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
The bandage was wound around the wound.
There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
They were too close to the door to close it.
The buck does funny things when the does are present.
They sent a sewer down to stitch the tear in the sewer line.
To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
After a number of injections my jaw got number.
Upon seeing the tear in my clothes I shed a tear.
I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?


or even worse...!!!


You may have noticed the increased number of notices for you to
notice. We notice that some of our notices have been noticed.
On the other hand, some of our notices have not been noticed.
This is very noticeable. It is noticed that the responses to
the notices have been noticeably unnoticeable. This notice is
to remind you to notice the notices and respond to the Notices
because we do not want the noticed to go unnoticed.

I don't come here for the colours... But I changed it to blue anyway, I think it looks rather good. Better than that Classic browny colour, That was so 70s.
On another note... I just got a workshop/restoration maual for my mini, which I got from the UK over ebay. At the start of the manaul there is a whole page titled "Use of English" it says the following:
"As this book has been written in England, it uses the appropriate English component names, phrases, and spelling. Some of these differ from those used in America. Normally, these cause no difficulty, but to make sure, a glossary is printed below."
The list in the book is pretty long so I won't quote them all but it basically says things like:
English / American
Tyre / Tire
Carburettor / Carburetor
Aerial / Antenna
Boot / Trunk
Bonnet / Hood
Spanner / Wrench
Petrol / Gas
Sump / Oil Pan
Windscreen / Windshield
Bulkhead / Firewall
Vice / Vise
Accelerator / Gas Pedal
etc etc... The list goes on and on, I just listed a few. These examples are only relating to the topic of cars, so it makes you realise how the way we talk is so similar yet so different at the same time. If you know what I mean.
