    Brilliant! Absolutely marvellous! That's the second time I've watched Songs of Praise and not turned it off (the other time, there was a metal-head in the crowd wearing all black and just staring into the camera with a cheeky smile the whole time. It was really funny!)

    You "other" English speakers have been causing me a lot of grief. Having observed your "proper" usage of the letter "u" in spelling, I've gotten into this bad habit of spelling words in that fashion. Not all the time, mind you, but rather haphazardly, which if far worse. Now instead of happily spelling words like "color", "behavior", and "harbor" in their accepted American English forms, I find myself throwing in the occasional "colour", "behaviour", and "harbour". When I combine the two forms as in. The colour of the water in the harbor..., it looks as though English might be my second language.

    Just what I need...a spelling check to correct my proper use of English words. I'm so confused...

    You guys are a terrible influence.....

    In any case, the reason that words are spelled 'aluminium' (pronounced - al-yoo-min-ee-um - bloody English people are always giving me jipp over that bloody word), 'colour', 'centre', etc. is to stay true to the words' etymological roots of Germanic, Norwegian, Latin/French, and Celtic origins.

    American English spells words out more phonetically.

    Either is correct, but Microsoft Word installed with an American English dictionary will put squiggly lines under the colours of your text, so to say.

    You only start speaking British English when you refer to highways as motorways, cookies as biscuits, chips as crisps, and fries as chips, asking someone ' 'Ow be on, mush?' or using Cockney Rhyming Slang (up the apple and pears = stairs, having a bubble bath = laugh(some dialects pronounce 'th' at the end of words as 'f' so bath and laugh rhyme))

    I'm cursed, I swear. To Americans I'm British and to British I'm Americans. Anyone ever heard of Captain Nemo? (not from '20,000 Leagues. . .')

    Oh well. . . .
