I spell it colour. How do you spell colour? Do you spell it with a U. Do you spell it with out a U but spell other words like favourite, harbour, honour and savour with a U. Do you spell it with the U but other words like harbour and honour without a U? Or do you just spell colour and all words like it without the U? How do you spell colour and other words like it? I usually spell all words like harbour and favourite with the U.

I'm American, so take a wild guess.

The only place I've heard someone seriously spell it "Colour" was for "The Colour of Magic", that Discword Novel. And even then, the author eventually just spelled it as Color.

Colour feels weird.

No U please.

Seriously. I don't spell any of those words with a U.

Me too. So I guess you spell it with a U. I've been to a lot of Britain websites and have read a lot of Harry Potter.

Nintendoobsessed, talking about that book is actually the only occasion I'll use "colour" rather than "color".

In a similar vein, omelet or omelette? I use the latter.

For awhile, I was wondering if I was the only one that spelled it as omelette.

Though as I'm typing this, FireFox's spellchecker thinks I'm a moron.

I spell it as omelet because it's easier to remember and it fits into the favorite food box on Earthbound.

To clear up any confusion, I spell it "color".

I'm pretty sure you can infer this from at least one of my posts, but I spell it "color."

Colour, although MS Word always puts a red line underneath it when I type it (for some reason I don't really understand).

Because you're using the American dictionary?
