Wait you hear how us Canadians pronounce Lieutenant.
I am almost 70. I was taught in school (Canadian) that is how you spell colour armour and a whole lot more.
So easily forgotten things are after a couple/ of decades with our present and eroding school systems.
No, it’s not.
You put random “u” in armor and color? Nonsense.
It’s not random. Source am American that reads a lot.
Noah Webster, in his efforts to standardize American English, simplified spellings by removing the “u” in words like “colour,” “honour,” and “favour”.
I spell most words the British way. But it’s gray, not grey.
It’s grey never even heard of the gray spelling.
“Gray” is the more common spelling in the US, “grey” is the more common spelling in the UK (and apparently Canada).
and australia/new zealand
In Canada, there’s a mixture of American spelling and Canadian spelling. I personally choose not to use the U because it looks ridiculous.
