But "colour" *is* wrong.

I discovered why a lot of books written outside of the US are so poorly edited about a year ago.

There are a ton of English words that are spelled slightly different from the American word and they hate being told that their version is wrong cause an American wrote the spell checker.
Chances are very high that if you find tons of spelling errors it was written, printed and published outside of the US.
I'm sorry but that actually does not make any sense at all.
There are UK english dictionaries for spellcheckers and we can safely assume that anybody writing or editing a book would be professional enough to select or find the UK version - in cases where the word processor doesn't use the right one per default thanks to the regional settings already. --- Save the forum: Think before you post.
