Hey, this problem has been bugging me for DAYS, i wanted everyones opiniion, So what i wanted to ask is, why do americans always leave out letters when they spell words. Like 4example (and this is not just lazy email typing) when americans spell colour, They spell it "color" and encyclopeadia they spell "encyclopedia" or just earoplain, is spelt "airplane", this is just plain weird, english is english, why make so many spellings for the same thing????

P.S. its exams now, so i wont be able to go on the net for 2 weeks cos i have to study.

Peace, and CARPE DIEM!!!!!!
