actually, it's dropping of the "U" not the "O"

. and by other countries, you mean everywhere that still is under some form of british influence?

american: color

british: colour

time to resurrect a dead thread

Friday the 13th was nasty here resulting in a massive forest fire. My sister and her husband have been forced to evacuate their house because of the fire; but as far as we know there is no damage to their house at this time
