    I prefer using COLOUR but I don't really think it matter so much that it would just end up causing a world calamity and the apocalypse of the entire universe over ONE EXTRA LETTER.

    I'm in Australia and they use the British spellings, so yeah it's colour in my case. I may use the American spelling if I am conversing with members from the US, so yeah all depends.

    I've read so many things online in British English that I picked it up.

    In school, I write my notes in British English except for English class, hehe.

    I live in the US and I just spell it the American way. When I was younger I liked the British way better, so I used it, but it confused people and I just felt pretentious so I stopped. .__.

    I spell it as colour, I put the 'u' in similarly spelled words like flavour, favourite, etc. also. I'm American but I had a friend a long time ago who was Canadian, and the way she spelled it seemed to stick with me. Oh well. :p

    I try to stick to the Commonwealth spelling since I'm Australian, but I occasionally use American spellings of words. Then again, English is not my first language, and my family isn't from the UK, so I don't really feel the need to favour British spellings.

    Colour, favourite, centre, theatre, etc.
    ^ Those are what look right to me. That's how I grew up spelling them.

    I also can't stand spellings like "donut" and "tonite". It just bothers me for some reason.
    It's "doughnut" and "tonight".
