Oh this is so fun!!!!!

Actually, the Webster's dictionary has COLOUR as COLOR. Which dictionary are you using?!?! English (as in England) spellings tend to differ from English (American) spellings. Mainly because English (England) are french speaking. Oh so confusing!

Noob may not officially be a word but it is used extensively in the gaming community and has been for several years. Language has always changed and evolved. I don't really see a problem.

I write for a living and I can tell you that since it is NOT a real word - it doesn't really make much difference how it is spelled.

Just a thought - some people can spell, some can do math, some can sing, some can photograph. Oh to be able to do it all perfectly!

Totally agree with you there FoG. Those who post in English despite it not being their first language deserve our admiration.

by the way, my post about colour was tongue in cheek...
