No more "u" in color - it's Un-Patriotic and Un-American! 

Post#1 » by Kobe>Jordan>God » Tue Dec 21, 2010 4:04 am

When you post or reply to a thread topic, the button for changing the "font colour" uses the foreign British spellling.

This archaic spelling is in conflict with RealGM's policy of using American English as the official site language.

Please remove the letter "u", bring back color and restore American pride to RealGM!

Let me guess... You still calling French Fries "Freedom Fries"?


American English is simply lazy English. Learn to spell words correctly and you will be set free!

The Declaration of Independence was written in proper English English... Is that un-patriotic and un-American?

No, they obviously wrote it like that so the British could understand it.

Lsten, or rather read, grammar is completely murdered on RealGM. If proper English users can't tell the difference among "then" and "than", "there", "their", and "they're" or "its" and "it's", then they shouldn't give a damn about deleting a "u".

Start a sponaneous song somewhere; it's time better spent.
