- allenu 8y agoIt looks like it's UK and India only for now. See bottom right.
- ajonnav 8y agoIt's probably because (it looks like) the initial target market is India and India uses UK spellings.

- deejaybog 8y agoLooks like a Google India initiative, which would explain the spelling.
- nisse72 8y agoAre you also annoyed by Under Armour?
- benatkin 8y agoYou bet, haha. I don't think it's a useful reaction, but it's my reaction.
- api_or_ipa 8y agoIt's just language, get over it. The rest of the English world lives with US bastardisations like 'color' and 'favour' just fine.
- vatueil 8y ago> US bastardisations like 'color' and 'favour' I believe the American spelling is "favor".
- abiox 8y ago> US bastardisations (iirc) color and favor are the 'original' english spellings, which are more alike to latin. the additional U is a result of french influence, specifically via the norman conquest of england.
