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.

2018-11-07 01:19:29 UTC  

Has a U, Australians also agree

2018-11-07 01:19:37 UTC  

Ours is closer to the root word

2018-11-07 01:19:56 UTC  

COH-LOO-UURR

2018-11-07 01:19:57 UTC  

Also @galesteppes the monarch flexing authority sounds good, but Charles is next in line...

2018-11-07 01:20:08 UTC  

Its not our

2018-11-07 01:20:11 UTC  

Its or

2018-11-07 01:20:26 UTC  

cull-hour?

2018-11-07 01:20:27 UTC  

I still don't get your spelling of "mum"

2018-11-07 01:20:30 UTC  

I thought it goes to his son

2018-11-07 01:20:38 UTC  
2018-11-07 01:20:39 UTC  

Why do you put an O in it

2018-11-07 01:20:45 UTC  

Maahhhmmm

2018-11-07 01:20:47 UTC  

Mum

2018-11-07 01:20:54 UTC  

The dropping of the u was primarily down to the Collins dictionary wanting to differentiate the US from the UK

2018-11-07 01:21:11 UTC  

Still weird

2018-11-07 01:21:29 UTC  

Mum is a shortened of ma'am, itself a shortening of madame

2018-11-07 01:21:33 UTC  

tbh, most of the British accent was developed AFTER the war

2018-11-07 01:21:46 UTC  

Debatable

2018-11-07 01:21:55 UTC  

Look it up and weep

2018-11-07 01:21:55 UTC  

Also define British accent

2018-11-07 01:22:08 UTC  

If you don't pronounce the h in hour or honor, what the fuck should you pronounce the h in herb ?

2018-11-07 01:22:30 UTC  

Because I don't sound like any fucker north of the Watford gap and I'll fight you over that

2018-11-07 01:23:05 UTC  

Northern england accent is the true accent of the british people. Change my mind.

2018-11-07 01:23:18 UTC  

My great aunt is called Honor, and we pronounce the H in her name

2018-11-07 01:23:33 UTC  

@Agamemnon's Death Mask all i heard was cockney trash accent

2018-11-07 01:23:39 UTC  

Devon is actually closer

2018-11-07 01:24:08 UTC  

I'm a mix between rp and estuary personally

2018-11-07 01:24:17 UTC  

because it's HERB with an E not an O try and pronoun honour with the H and you will see what I mean

2018-11-07 01:24:48 UTC  

Also american english is far more influenced by german (which was actually more prodomenent in early ameriva)

2018-11-07 01:25:24 UTC  

And over time by other languages

2018-11-07 01:25:42 UTC  

British english had more from french, indian and others

2018-11-07 01:25:53 UTC  

Sort of explains why the Danes have an American-esque accent when speaking english maybe

2018-11-07 01:25:53 UTC  

But shrugged off most the influences

2018-11-07 01:26:47 UTC  

Yea the only reason the us doesnt have a national language is if the forfathers had put it to vote it would have most likely been german
