Colour or color? Armour or armour?

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

Just be careful when election time comes

Yeah - Remember after Bush got in the first time people joking that Japan was shipping over aid packs of Viagra because they heard Americans were incapable of having an election.

Also any C's sound like they are pronounced with a sh e.g City --> Shitty, and as used in the sentence "Herro shitty wok take order prease"

Reason I said 'colour' is the correct spelling is because it's English, and English was around before American English.

From wikipedia:
Most words ending in unstressed -our in Britain (e.g. colour, flavour, honour) end in -or in the U.S. (e.g. color, flavor, honor). Most words of this category derive from Latin non-agent nouns having nominative -or; the first such borrowings into English were from early Old French and the ending was -or or -ur.

So, it's colur.

I guess the correct way to spell it would be colour, since thats the English way to say it. But I'm already used to spelling it color, so I'll stick with that

 

[Wuschmaster]

Color just looks better than colour.

 

[mthrnite]

HUE

 

[iamwhoiam]

technically, since we invented english... it's colour and armour

 

[Smuff]

No question about it - its colour and armour

Deal with it.

And stop butchering the Mother Tongue

 

[Veho]

And stop butchering the Mother TongueÂ

Latin?

If you're in America, it's color. If you wanna spell it "colour," gtfo and go to Britain. If it's the internets, you can spell it "dog" and it'd be correct.

Latin?
