I can't sayeth I agreeth with changing the [color] option to [colour]. I thinketh it wouldst confuseth too many talkhausers. In addition, I thinketh that using outdated spellings can only leadeth to a degradation of the english language as a whole. I argal calleth thou out, and challengeth thou to a duel

Don't Americans use 'color' while Canadians and British use 'colour'?

Ignorant fools that don't know how to spell colour. Disgusting.

Actually, "colour" is the recent spelling. The British added a bunch of u's to their words some time after the American Revolution, while the Americans kept their words the same.

"Color," is a shorter word.

Writing all of the font color tags in the Grand Battle thread already takes an eternity. =/

I find it kinda hilarious that yes is in third place behind no and no and is tied with no while only beating out no by a single vote.

There needs to be one more option: "yneos".

Also, I'm a dumb American, so I don't use those unnecessary extra U's. And I know what a Z is! (And it's not a "zed"!) So nyaahhhhhh. :P :lol:

That said, I see no reason why both codes couldn't work. Unless that's something that can only be changed, not expanded.

You should change it to "couleur". It's way easier to remeber.

In all honesty it probably should be, just because if it's not to one person's special standards they won't understand and complain. See also: timezones

This poll attempted to split the "no" vote in quarter, giving "yes" an unfair advantage. Yet "no" wins the poll anyway! And even still, the decision was "yes."

I do believe our democracy is broken.
