Haha, I know it sounds like a stupid question, but, I'm in a gaming clan where we have people from many different nations. Mainly the UK, USA, and Australia. Some people in my clan spell it "color," while others spell it "colour". I've been debating in my head on which way to spell it for a while now, and I haven't come to a conclusion. So, I'm asking: Which is the proper way of spelling the word? Color, or colour?

"colour" is the proper way in Great Britain, "color" is the proper way in the USA. The rest of the world gets to choose. I like the British spelling better.

Wasn't it the british who first spoke the english language? Meaning they originally said the word...Making "Colour" correct. But then the USA guys came and starting spelling it "color" What the hell, I'm confusing myself.

Sorry about this question but I always wanted to know...
What is Engrish???

English, badly translated by people from the far east. Like the change list for the R4 software (Called "Engrish" because of Far Eastern folk having difficulty pronouncing the "L" sound in English and replacing it with an "R" sound.)

Examples: www.engrish.com
