"colour" and all it's other "u happy o words" are far too french to be american.
At least the British can claim to have successfully engaged the French. The Americans can hardly ruffle the French danders.

American English has been very different from British English and was deliberately codified to be different following the revolutionary war. They wanted to show their Independence by developing their own dictionaries where words were deliberately spelled differently just to give the finger to Parliment who was passing laws demanding the British spelling be the only acceptable spellings.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Just 500 years ago Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland were all one country with one king. The Finns spoke there own language but the other four all spoke the same language or at least the nobility did.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.
