One day some teachers found an online version
- One day some teachers found an online version of 'consequences', everyone's favourite writing fluency game! One of them started a story for the others to see it, and then...
- the American Spelling Squad swooped in and corrected the fold. There is no I in team, and there is no U in favorite. They confiscated his malt vinegar and replaced it with ketchup.
- It didn't make a difference however as the autocorrect in Word was set to Australian English and so reinserted the U and also changed ketchup to tomato sauce.
- I hate humor, I much prefer humour. Likewise, color does my head in. The u is such a nice letter to write. I think it's smiley characteristic subconsciously makes us feel happy.
- But then I think this over again and realize (note: not relise) that the 'u' is not only unnecessary but should be pronounced differently: humooouur (a la French: amour). Crazy.
- Of course I am a Canadian who visited England for a semester abroad so I am a total expert in accents and pronunciation. I broadcast, "Cheers" instead of thank you, call a sweater
- a jumper and pooh-pooh all that is American. Yes, I an a right douche bag from the Great White North and proud of it. Too bad my
- house, that was supposed to be in Canada, was in North Dakota instead. Some immigration guy told me that satellite surveys had determined I was living in the US without a passport
- and would have to begin reintegration immediately. It was only then that I noticed that the guy was missing pupils. Quickly,
- he tossed over his sunglasses. No one could ever know. No one should ever know. But he would have to live with it forever.
