What kind of spelling do you use for words like...

[Veemon 1,540]

Favorite/Favourite and Defense/Defence? I know there's a regional difference between the different spellings, and I thought I might ask. As always, nobody will judge you for spelling it one way or another, so don't be shy.

 

 

Rock on!

since im canadian i spell colour with a U like most other places than america

[Power Jusho 1,784]

Favorite & defense

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

I use the American/US spelling for most words, such as color, favorite, and defense.  I know people that use the English/British spelling of such words, though, and I find it very cool to compare and contrast. ; )

[DragonMaster 1,166]

I'm an American, so I spell favorite, color, honor, etc. without the u. I think defense is the American way to spell it, but I always liked defence better.

 

This is probably just my regional bias, but I actually really dislike the additional u in colour, favourite, honour, etc. It doesn't change the way the word is pronounced, looks worse, and is really unnecessary. I honestly think the US got it right in changing the spellings.

I say favorite, color, and defense. American spellings at the most. I use grey instead of gray though.

[RikuFangirl2008 1,368]

Favorite, defense, honor, and color. Pretty much US version. 

[VisitJoan 2,713]

It doesn't really matter to me that much.  I use the American because that's what I'm used too (and my spelling is bad anyway) but I don't mind what other people use.  As long as it's a correct spelling that's fine with me.

[Trece the Xam ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) 3,859]

British only... however films, games (this site) and all international stuff that is English dubbed and not Spanish makes me say things in an American accent or something.

 

 

Favourite, defense and colour.

[Caity 3,946]

I actually interchange between them a lot.  

I was born and raised in Northern Ireland so I learnt the British spelling of things growing up (though I learnt the American spelling of organization through Kingdom Hearts), but a lot of the IDE's I used were created in America, so they use the American spelling (i.e. I would be able to call a command Color3f, but it won't work if I call Colour3f).  I flip through both spellings, neither bothers me, but it has bothered some other people here where I've used American spelling instead of the British way.  

 

I actually find it ridiculous when either Brits or American's correct the other to their form of spelling online, some people really passionately hate the spelling they don't use.  

[MythrilMagician 6,963]

I somehow use both American and British spellings. Don't ask why or how, I just do.

[Rinax 473]

As a Canadian, you can probably guess what I use.

[venxas24 544]

...I thought it was fayver it and D-fence

[Yuya Sakaki 5,212]

I use favourite, flavour, defence, offence, honour, colour. Yeah, I'm Aussie so it's to be expected.

 

Peace!

I actually switch between the American and the British versions, which is weird because I'm from and still live in the U.S., and I have no family members from other countries.  I think its because a lot of books I read and even some video games I play use the British way of spelling.  However, whenever I write stuff in Microsoft Word, I always use the American versions since according to Word: 'realise,' 'colour,' ect. are not words and says the spellings are incorrect; and I just hate having words underlined in red!
