I was in class teaching today and writing words on the board. I had to write the word humor. How do I spell it, h-u-m-o-u-r. I think you people have too much influence on my writing. Of course my students couldn't wait to tell me that I spelled it wrong, until I set them straight about it.

a) you mean me

b) I am not European, I am British

c) you mean spelt it wrong? ;]

Yes, I chose European for a reason. And I left the g off because I like to pronounce it that way. It is tough to spell words properly all of the time. I need a bit of a break.

phonetic spelling is not correct my dear (for example see whole yank language)

Whole language is the death of spelling properly. That is another topic though.

I'm not Europeanm but spell humour like so. I also spell colour the same way.

When writing in programs like MS Word, it annoys me that I have to continously change the dictionary so that words like colour and humour are not considered mistakes.

None of your students picked up on the mistake though right?

Yes, they did. They couldn't wait to correct me.
