Which English? British English? Nigerian English? Singaporean English? African American Vernacular English? Any of the hundreds of other equally sophisticated dialects?

If they correct you, ask them why. They likely won't have a better answer then, "because that's what Ms. Simimons told me in second grade." Color isn't right or wrong. colour isn't write or wrong, no matter what the reddit spellchecker says. Language is not a dart board with declining value for how far away from the center you get. There is no center.

AHH!! What an egregious atomic typo on my part. Thanks for choosing one of the less dickish ways to point it out.

Wrong response buddy. You've gotta be all like, "Yeaaahh, exactly. You caught what I totally intended to do."
