It’s true, we Canadians do spell some words with a “u” like “colour,” “honour,” “valour”. In other words, we spell them correctly, as opposed to the “simplified spelling” that became all the rage around 1906. Look up the “Simplified Spelling Board” on Wikipedia sometime. Fortunately, not all of thier recommendations wer adopted becaus English would look very much lik this sentenc, and that would just mes with yur hart and hed I ges.

Either way, they’re Libtards, and to be avoided at all costs.

They can get rid of the “z” key. Authorise, recognise, realise, etc.

Those Canadian spellings were on Jeopardy last night; but they called them British. Bucky is forgetting harbour.

They don’t mind the extra letters because no one pronounces them anyway. :)

They use metric but spell “meter” wrong.
