Humor or Humour
This is a debate...
Americans Vs. Brits
Americans spell it humor whereas you brits spell it humour. When I type "humour" the red dotted line comes under it...
Shall we call for a re-name?
Vote and comment please.
EDIT:
Here's another question: What country are you from and how do you spell it?

Re: Humor or Humour
I spell it "humor", since I was born in the US. It's faster to type, so we win!

Yeeeeeeee!!
I do think Humour will win though... Just because I believe we have more Brits on these premises than Americans.

Re: Humor or Humour
Maybe, ALL Americans need to represent, lol.
Also, the reason why there are more English people on the forum is because your servers are hosted in the UK, therefore, your SERPS are better in the UK than the US.

Re: Humor or Humour
The language is English.
Came from England.
Original English spelling: humour.
In my humble opinion, anything else is a corruption of the original spelling!
P.S. Don't like corruption....

Re: Humor or Humour
It is not some thing to vote. English is the language of Brits, hence, what they spell is always considered correct.
If a majority of people start insisting to say that there is no sun in a very sunny day, does it vanish. No, it is there but those people are not accepting. Simple.
PS: I am not from UK, LOL.
When there is nothing left but Allah that is when you find out that Allah is all you need.

One thing I dislike is how they call football (you know, the kind you actually play with your feet) soccer. But yea, I spell it humor.

Re: Humor or Humour
I voted for humor, because here in Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language) we also use the word "humor"

Re: Humor or Humour
Humor is an innovation aswell as a deviation from the origin which is Humour.
The language is English, if you ask some Americans what they speak they will actually tell you American.
This does not have anything to do with the fact that I live in England. lol

Re: Humor or Humour
Malaysian english originally follows the british english...so it is of course humour, colour, analyser, organiser and etc
25:36 And the true servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk the earth with humility and when the ignorant address them, they respond with words of peace.

Humour.
In spelling, as in current international politics, America is wrong.

I go with "Humour" as it's the original spelling of the word and how it should be spelt.
