Another off-topic post... It seems that the British colonists, when they first got to America, were deathly afraid that the language would deviate and they would no longer be able to communicate with the mother country. The result is that the US is using many words/phrases/spellings that were correct 200 years ago in England. So an argument can be made that American English is actually the "correct" one! I'm not sure if "color" and "favor" are old spellings, though. -Tom
