Quote:The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.' Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary').
Never! I might accept everything else, but you'll never force me to add those horrible "U"s to nice words like "honor" or "color"!
Come on, even you Brits secretly hate those useless letters. This is why you write "donor", "mirror" "emperor" "horror" and "ambassador" without any trace of that pesky "U".
And you know who added those "U"s in the first place? The Normans...damn Frenchies. Do you really want to keep a change made by those frog-eating, coward monkeys?
