Poll: Colour or Color?

[Najos]

The reason it is spelled "color" instead of "colour" in the States is because in the early 1900's there was this movement to make English easier to understand and write. I forget all the details, but we basically took all of the U's out of any OU words and some other things before giving up altogether. I think Roosevelt was behind it, which is kind of ironic.

Edit: Found an article on it.

I've always spelled it color. But, I live here in the states, so that's probably why.

Woah. Oh, I guess it is probably night over in America at the moment. Don't know times.
Anyway, I use many Americanisations (and I refuse to use 'mum'- it looks ridiculous)
but I have never been one to use 'color'.

being a Canadian, Ive always spelled it "Colour".
everyone does it differently, but im guessing "Color" is probably the most popular.

Hey fellow canadian!
Sorry to ruin it but I spell it color I believe it's my american side kickin in.

 

[Enigmers]

I'm Canadian, and am used to seeing them both. I spell it like Colour, "color" feels too short for some reason.

I'm Canadian, I spell it "Colour". It looks better to me.

Always been Color because the u really serves no purpose. It's just an extra letter, extra ink if it's on something you print out, an extra key stroke, and I'm American so it's how it's been spelled.

I'm American, but I spell it with a U. I think it looks wrong without one....

 

[Necrofudge]

The day I start spelling it "colour" is the day Microsoft Word stops caring.

 

[RUINER ACTUAL]

Why do you Brits spell simple words with extra letters? Even American English has it wrong too, but not as bad as you English fellows. I like the often literal spelling of words in German. Why do we beat around the bush with spelling?

Color or a Jackal resembles a fox/hyena. Oh right, it does.

AXE!

Where I come from (in England, and I'm not sure about any other accents) it is pronounce "cul-lur" so the U makes perfect sense.
