Connor should face Prometheus' fate.

Forever having his liver eaten, or maybe other vital parts as well.

Quote from: racx_00 on March 20, 2004, 03:17:38 AMIn Australia we spell colour, honour and favourite like this

Ofcourse you do, you're still loyal to the British Queen!

Connor is an icon for everything that was awful about MoE, so he should also pay the conseqences.

Amen to that

yeahhh... we dutch are very exceptional ; / ...I don't know if it is more simple or not, but i don't have any problems with the new rules ; )

racx_00 · April 02, 2004, 10:10:30 PM

Even if they bring in new spelling i will still spell the old way

Oldbushie · April 07, 2004, 12:56:45 AM

OK = Oll Korrect.

(True story, look it up sometime. Darn rednecks.

)

And I say we should make Connour be the new spelling of Connor.

FataliOmega · April 07, 2004, 09:35:06 AM

Nah, Connour shouldnt be the new spelling of Connor. How about Loser?

Perhaps...

No way to know for sure until you go back in time.

MangoMercury · April 08, 2004, 02:35:19 AM

Lol, damn, I need to read the paper more often then! And yes The Queen = Dame Edna in a twisted world

racx_00 · November 29, 2005, 10:46:59 PM

It looks icky without the "u"

Rosella · November 30, 2005, 04:46:08 AM

But it looks like col-ew-r

racx_00 · November 30, 2005, 06:00:09 AM

Color looks like it would be pronounced col-or

Like the "col" in column and "or" like well or. Unless that is actually how you pronounce it due to different accents $:-\$

koko_99_2001 · November 30, 2005, 06:05:28 AM

In the South: cu-ler (with the "u" being pronounced like the "u" in "but")

awesomeasapossum · November 30, 2005, 03:02:47 PM

what abou colour?

Yonkey · November 30, 2005, 03:56:10 PM

Pronounced same way Cat does: cuh-lerr

Jafar · November 30, 2005, 04:31:46 PM

Personally, I don't favour British OR American spelling styles. I mean, flavor and other words of it's kind sound the same, and mean the same thing, so it's a moot point.

icarus · December 01, 2005, 02:33:51 PM

colour (or spoken cuh-lerr)
looks like it's frence spoken
