    Humor or Humour

    Report bad ads?

    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.

    Here's another question: What country are you from and how do you spell it?

    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.

    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

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