strongnsubmissiv -> The Canadian "U" (9/22/2004 3:52:31 PM)

So naturally i've been browsing profiles of my fellow Canadians, just to see who's here. I love long descriptive profiles (funny since mine is so short) and i also love reading everyone's journal writings as well. Something i've noticed however, is the slow death of our Canadian "U's"

Labour, colour, odour, vapour, favour.... etc..

I realize that generic North American spell checks are doing their part in eliminating our U's but for the rest of U Canadians posting on the forum and elsewhere, don't lose our U's eh? In fact, endeavoUr to use it!

... well who am i kidding, we're really just America lite... with less money. :P Perhaps our UK friends and Auzzie friends will remember to use them too.

sns

ps.. long live the U!
