It's worse because aluminum is technically more correct
Because that word changed 3 times
After the second americans said fuck it
Yup. You got aluminum right but colour has a u dammit
Cull-oo-er?
HOLY SHIT 33%
These variations in spelling exist because of differences between American English and British English. Color is the spelling used in the United States. Colour is used in other English-speaking countries. The word color has its roots (unsurprisingly) in the Latin word color.
Has a U, Australians also agree
Ours is closer to the root word
COH-LOO-UURR
Also @galesteppes the monarch flexing authority sounds good, but Charles is next in line...
Its not our
Its or
cull-hour?
I still don't get your spelling of "mum"
I thought it goes to his son
@Silver0Fox Mom?
Why do you put an O in it
Maahhhmmm
Mum
The dropping of the u was primarily down to the Collins dictionary wanting to differentiate the US from the UK
Still weird
Mum is a shortened of ma'am, itself a shortening of madame
tbh, most of the British accent was developed AFTER the war
Debatable
Look it up and weep
Also define British accent
If you don't pronounce the h in hour or honor, what the fuck should you pronounce the h in herb ?
Because I don't sound like any fucker north of the Watford gap and I'll fight you over that
Northern england accent is the true accent of the british people. Change my mind.
My great aunt is called Honor, and we pronounce the H in her name
@Agamemnon's Death Mask all i heard was cockney trash accent
Devon is actually closer
I'm a mix between rp and estuary personally
because it's HERB with an E not an O try and pronoun honour with the H and you will see what I mean
Also american english is far more influenced by german (which was actually more prodomenent in early ameriva)
And over time by other languages
British english had more from french, indian and others
Sort of explains why the Danes have an American-esque accent when speaking english maybe
