Harbour, labour, etc. We also say serviette instead of napkin sometimes and we often sit on a chesterfield instead of a couch. It is an exciting place up here where anything could happen (within reason and as long as it doesn't get people upset). yeah it is Canadian to spell colour with a ‘u’.

Either their editor there made the change, or AP sends out a "British English" version in addition to an American. I'd imagine the Canadian newspapers just run their stuff through a spell-checker to get things coming out that way. Perhaps Paul knows better..

I'm sorry, but I don't undertand the difference between the two. The online Mirriam Webster dictionary defines "colour" as a "chiefly English variant of 'color'". Their definition of "color" says that it is a derivation of Middle English. I know a bit about Middle English, mostly from reading Chaucer's Cantebury Tales, but I forgot to bring my Middle English dictionary with me today. Otherwise, good review. I wonder if the ideas raised and discussed in the book will not prove more relevant depending on one's station in life. I know that when I re-read a book, often what I get out of the book changes with my perspective and outlook on life at the time I am reading it.
