Fortunately English is democratic, so the great unwashed can ignore the
'educated' and enrich the language by doing as they have always
done ... using words they shouldn't :)

As long as I can carry on spelling it 'colour', I don't care. In my
first few years at school I was told it was spelt 'colour' for two
years, 'color' for another two year, and then 'colour' again. I ended
up being so confused that I tried logical spellings :)

As long as American English and British English don't get too close ...
there's too much possibility for humour in the differences. The English
went to a film called "Shag" expecting a hard-core porn film (well ...
not really, but it does get the point across).
