voted for HUMOUR.

regardless of where i am located...I'm speaking ENGlish...hence..i should insist on authentic English spelling...rather than her *******ised variant, Americanglish.
 
^ and you guys tend to have an american accent along with most of Europe!

Anywas it's originally spelt as 'humour' so we should keep it that way!

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....

OK. We'll stop using cars if you stop speaking English. Deal? :P

EDIT: And TECHNICALLY there is no straight forward answer. The history of the automobile goes way back to the 15th century when Leonardo da Vinci was creating designs and models for transport vehicles. But the English language was definitely developed in England :p.

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, From England and it is obviously spelt Humour! Where did the English language derive from? England of course!

I think this thread should have been called: "Why do Americans pronounce and spell words so funny"

Well Americans are the fattest people on earth thats a fact! Hey want fries with that?

:wa:
 
Both are wrong, the proper spelling is HUMER at least that is how those of us who are fluent in "typographical error" spell it.
 
I vote we dump English and go back to Latin as that and Greek is the source of all the intelligent words in English and it would also not offend people so much who hate the Americans and English using English in their lands. English is such a vulgar tongue too.

Old French- humor, French- humeur
Latin (h)umor-(h)umere to be moist, the fluid of the animal body.
How it got to mirth I am not sure, maybe people perspire when they are happy.
So the English spelling is a mongrelizing of French and Latin I suspect.
The Americans are correct. English has a lot of flaws so the Americans have used objective reforms as they have no sentimental love of the Language like lots of Brits do.

Its funny the way Americans say Aluuuminum. Its Aluminium!!! We English set the standards and you Americans are supposed to follow!
