Favorite or Favourite?
So how do you spell favorite? Do you leave out the 'u' making it American English or do you add the 'u' in causing it to become British English?
I always spell it as, 'favorite'. I actually thought for a while that spelling it as 'favourite' was the wrong spelling. Which is what sort of made me think of asking this question. |
I spell it "favourite" 'cause I'm British. =P
|
I always spell it as "favourite", for no apparent reason. I also like to use "colour" instead of "color".
/random. |
i'm american, so i spell it as "favorite" i've never actually seen it spelled like that before..
|
Favorite cause I'm American. :0 Color/Colour LOL
|
Thanks to me growing up in America, I say 'favorite', and 'color'.
Even though I've always thought that the other versions looked better somehow. |
Favorite did not even know there were other spellings ah haha....i can be quiet naive to the rest of the world being a American in California :O
|
I use the American spellings for all my words except grey and theatre. I don't know why those words are different, but I've always written them that way.
|
Well I am Canadian, so I add the 'u' in favourite, colour, honour, etc. That's actually the proper way to spell it here. According to my English teacher (xD) if you go to university and spell it without the 'u' here, they'll mark it as a spelling mistake.
|
Being an American and having been taught the lexicon of noah Webster in grade school, I spell it "favorite". I also use "color", "honor", "flavor", "theater", "center", and "liter"

Well since curtis and I spell it the american way everytime..
|
Favourite, with a u.
I am British, so it's only natural that I use the British spelling for words like favourite, colour, neighbour, etc. |
Favourite, labour, harbour, honour, etc.
Australia, yo. The funny part is only America (well, close enough) denies the U. |
I'm english so I use the correct British spellings.
Funnily enough, this came last night in a gmail chat when Igot told off for not spelling "realise" with a "z" |
Thanks to living in the United States for over ten years, I would spell "favorite" instead of "favourite." I wonder what it'll be like to one day add a "u" into all those words....
|
I spell it ''favorite''. It looks better, in my opinion.
|
I am British, therefore I crave extra vowels in things. 8D Like alphabetti spaghetti!
|
English comes from England, so the English spellings always take precedence.
Chequer, liquorice; people tend to forget those. Let's not forget many whole words are different too, pants here are men's briefs so you all look like idiots when you say it. |
American English.
I always use the American spellings, merely because I am American. Now if I were in England, I might use their way of spelling it. To me it makes no difference, my mind never recognizes the difference at all, between American English and it's counterpart from over 'the pond' ;3 Except in the case of words having a different meaning which I know of. >_> To be honest, I think American English is far better simply because it is simplified a bit. I've never been a fan of unnecessary things, and the 'u' in some words is at the TOP OF THE LIST! (Sorry, that's just how I feel) |
I don't use the U when spelling words like favorite, color, honor, etc. It's the way I learned it and I think it looks better without the U.

Favorite is my favorite way to say favorite. : P
xD, the U seem... don't wanna offend anyone, but seems weird. xD |
I have lived in England and America and so sometimes I get confused about the correct spellings for words. I write "favorite" now but I probably slip up sometimes.
