Following the thread about the rather dubious Ishihara test I wonder what proportion of CMoNers are actually colourblind (or possibly colorblind which is much worse as you can't seem to see the letter "U" either...).

only two people (both from the american side of the pond) spelt it without a u (as they are an extremely heavily armed society i think it should be ignored) they do things differently over there so no need for the grammar police, oh of course its dubious test its a joke and not to be taken literally, congrates on the successfull operation and speedy recovery by the way.

We get it. We're barbarians with a desire to bastardize a language that has already been bastardized. I speak on behalf of all Americans (well, a small percentage of them) when I say: "Sod off ye git!"

Actually I was looking into the differences in spelling between the UK and the US a while ago. From what I found it mainly started in the 17th and 18th century when the colonies were being established and spelling was a bit more freeform. Back then it was popular to use "ize" instead of "ise" (as in popularize). We Brits gradually adopted the S whereas the colonists retained the Z. We also retained the U in words when the colonists dropped them. Maybe it's something to do with our proximity to France, or maybe it has nothing to do with that at all. Anyway it's still interesting to see how cultures diverge and there's certainly nothing wrong with the American way of spelling things.

By the way who had the operation?

@Master of fact. You forgot the most important bit in aluminium, the 2nd i, that's the bit that they get wrong. It's only in the states that they miss it out. (I could be wrong on that count).

Oh, Idofidentity, at least we don't pretend that orange plasticy stuff is cheese. I've that to look forward to when I'm over there in a few weeks again.
