A word of note: In British English "color" is spelt "colour"
- anadalakra 3y agoI'm based in the US, where it's spelled without the "u". Quite a few examples of this spelling difference - humo(u)r, behavio(u)r etc. Oh and "spelt" is "spelled". Isn't English fun! :)
- stouset 3y agoEven weirder, as a Native American English speaker, I would have spelt that word this way in only this context, but in other contexts it’s spelled this way. Maybe this is my own idiosyncrasy though and not what others would do. I’ve never even thought about it until just now.
- sundarurfriend 3y ago> as a Native American English speaker Based on context, I assume you mean a native "American English" speaker, rather than a "Native American" English speaker :)
- gizajob 3y agoIt cold be a real labour if yo’re not used to it.
- MongoTheMad 3y agoYour missed u from you're and could merged into labor. :thumbs_up:
- EE84M3i 3y agoIt took me until I was 30 to learn that Brits spell enroll as enrol.
- dotancohen 3y agoI only learned that last year... when I was 45. The Americans and the British, one people separated by a common language.
- Brajeshwar 3y agoOne of the things UK front-end developers really hate is they have to use "color" instead of "colour" to write CSS. :-)
- netsharc 3y agoHah, that should be a trivial transpiler rule to add to one's web development build pipeline...

- tescocles 3y agoI have always found it amusing that CSS does not accept both "color" and "colour" even though it accepts both "gray" and "grey"
- Dfiesl 3y agoHaha yes it pains me every time too ;)
- globular-toast 3y agoAnd also the two vowel sounds are the same?
- Dfiesl 3y agoI think there's a slight difference in sound of the "o" and the "ou", it probably depends on your accent though.
