Oh.  Well, if Americans spell it as color, it should be that way everywhere,
wouldn't one think?  OK, I've really got to remember that smiley thing.
Congratulations again, it is no small thing to see your quote so far away.
I have heard it for many years, but did not know the source.  Do you know
how it happened to be there?

Ken

Hi Ken,
Unfortunately my friend they didn't spell it incorrectly! :-) :-) American's
spell it "color!" Correct in your language.:-)

In English language in many other countries where the language evolved in
writing and spelling,  it's spelled, " Colour!"  Just one of those things
from years gone by when the letter "U" was dropped by the Americans???? From
many English spelling words .  Or something along those lines?



cheers,
Dr. ted
