Question

Why do some people say "favourite" instead of "favorite" or "colour" instead of "color"?

Answer 1

Depends on where you're from. I say "favourite" and "colour" because I'm from Europe and that's typically how it's spelled here.

Answer 2

doesn't it pronounce the same e way thoe no biggie depends on your country too @avalena

Answer 3

@seerena Yes, it's pronounced the same. Just spelled differently. Doesn't really matter though; you get your point across just fine whether you take a "u" out of a word or not.

Answer 4

Well i'm just curious what it's spelled differently but means the same thing..

Answer 5

@Elise_a18 Languages evolve over time and vary depending on location. The English language has a long history and is spoken all over the world.

Answer 6

indeed but in conclusion it means the same

Answer 7

American = favorite and color
British/Canadian = favourite and colour
Both are correct :P But in America, we usually drop the "u" as in flavour.

Answer 8
