I don't care, it gave me a perfect opportunity to rant

 

 

G. B. Shaw is Irish btw. I wouldn't have bothered quoting an American bitching about the English speaking English.

Don't get me wrong, they do that a lot. (Makes me sometimes, some of my - oh, so patriotic - coworkers). It just wouldn't carry much weight.

 

I've heard many times how they say "colour" is bad because it's not spelled the way it's pronounced. Now if it's supposed to be spelled the way it's pronounced, shouldn't it be "coler"?

 

I know that GBS was Irish, I was just having a rant anyway

This is a great rant thread for me

 

No, it should be 'Culer'..

 

Well, rant away then!

:rants about James, ranting...:

 

Or Kuler

 

but surely colour is pronounced colour !!!

 

No, colour is pronounced as colour!!!
