Thanks everyone. I was having a major argument with my US educated partner.

He was saying, "So what if the English spell it 'Colour', the rest of the world use US spellings".

I was arguing that the British influence oversea was much more than he was giving credit for.

You all proved me right, so he is buying the drinks tonight. :hehe:

Rep. added to you all. Cheers and Bottoms Up.

P.S. Still want to know what spelling India uses?

[Sir Regalot]

In the UK in webdesign classes we are told when writing code to use "color". In every other situation in everyday life we use "colour".

I once had the domain name, "uncoloured.com". After a couple of years I let it drop because I thought no one would be interested in this especially with the UK English "u" in the name. The name was subsequently registered by Sony Music. There is a Japanese band called "the uncoloured". It goes to show you never know who is out there waiting for your name to drop.

 

[Keral_Patel]

I live in India and I spell it colour.
