Yea, the American's are the ones that dropped the "u" in words like colour and favourite. There is a good reason for it though, for printing news and books, it cuts down on the costs a bit, just think, there are a lot of words that have the "u" dropped. If they had to use the "u" it can add aleast a whole new page or more because it pushes everything over each time.
Despite this being outside the flame forum, I speak for everyone when I say you're an idiot.
