LabRat Boards Chief Administrator Emeritus Nobel Peace Prize Winner Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 9,362 Scotland	I remember reading somewhere - long time ago - that the differences in UK/US spelling (color/colour and so on) came about because there were so many immigrants coming to the US that it was felt the easier words were to spell the better as they learned English. So they removed all the quirks from UK English that made it more difficult and reduced as many words as possible to their simplest form. No idea if that's true or not. But it seems to make a kind of sense and would explain much. LabRat Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly. Aramis: Yes, sorry. Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal. The Musketeers
