Favorite or Favourite?

by **Lady** Wed Oct 06, 2010 9:05 pm

Is there a reason why everyone on the forum spells favorite, favourite? Just wondering...

by **Josiah** Thu Oct 07, 2010 12:58 am

"Favourite", is the Australian way to spell it. "Favorite", is the American way to spell it. It's the same with "Mum", and "Mom" & "Colour", and "Color".

by **Lady** Thu Oct 07, 2010 9:44 am

Oh okay :-)...I thought you were just spelling that way because it's old english! LOL

by **Josiah** Thu Oct 07, 2010 4:18 pm

Not quite...but yeah, anyway! lol!

That's also the UK and Canadian way of spelling those words. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
