I guess we followed different rules, the word color is spelled colour in Canada. I would say countries like to be different, the same goes for speed limits. In Canada it's Kilometres per hour rather than Miles per Hour. Temperature is another example Degrees Celsius and Degrees Fahrenheit in the states.

frequently, whilst i'm typing issues that are for college, i'm going to declare colour, middle, honor, and meter. in any different case, i'm going to frequently say coloration, centre, honour, and metre. I in simple terms think of it seems extra ideal and makes extra sense once you're speaking to somebody from the united kingdom or Canada. BQ: Ohio. BQ: Hm. i do no longer understand. 'Raplapla', yet it incredibly is a French observe. BQ: Nope. BQ: Nope, I are conscious of it the two way.

Hi neighbour
We follow the King's English on this one. Pretty much it's a British thing. You did have it properly at one time, but then you got lazy.

Just kidding....

The English language has many variations, not only in different countrys, but also in different areas of the same country.

It's a remnant of British rule.

Well, actually, since they're still techincally ruled by the British, it's a reflection of British rule.
