Please...for the love of god...unless you live in Europe or Canada stop spelling armor "armour." I am sick to death of frigging Americananglophiles spelling wordslike that.I hope when you finally get out of high school and take a college level Englishclass you get penalized for it and learn your lesson.


sorry just a random rant

Would you like to tell us how to spell potato too?

Either spelling is acceptable. Deal with the fact that America is not the only enlgish speaking country on the planet and ffs Armour was the ORIGINAL spelling of the word.

Get a grip and get over it.

lol, rating my post a 1 star, must be the original author only.

Both spellins are correct, anyone who aregues the spelling of it is a closedminded idiot.

End of my posts in this thread thanks.

And look it up in the dictionary spelled either way and find the same listings (if it's a half decent dictionary) and references to the other spelling.

Wow, so let me see if I get this straight. The only people who are allowed freedom of speech are those who live in Europe and Canada? And this is coming from an American? While some of us might not be using the preferred spelling of the word armor/armour, you sir need a remedial course on the Constitution and the history of the United States. Now, get down from your soapbox and mind your own business.

And while on that topic, doesn't us just hurt your mind when someone says Istory or Uman race? I Ate it when people Abitually don't say the H sound. Maybe it's just me.


Armor or armour, the HAM is still to high.
