about

I'm a university student, first year, with too much time on my hands. I'm not in the popular crowd, I'm in the crowd who laugh at the popular crowd. I like to explore and push boundaries, to go against people's expectations. Most of the time I hang out with my friends, or with my boyfriend, who seems to be my perfect complement. And he's supersexy. I like shopping for vintage clothing, playing drums, science, and late-night pizza-fests. My motto would be
"Be who you are and say what you feel cause people who mind don't matter, and people who matter don't mind."

Ok. So when I write
Favourite
And
colour.

And I spell check the things I wrote. The spell check says it’s
favorite
And
Color

Now I was wondering, what’s up with that?! Cause- according to my dictionary, my way is the good way,

PLEASE HELP I RATE

Be careful - the words on the site given below are not entirely correct:
- in British English, we spell it argument too, not arguement.
- I have never spelt bank as banque, but this may be a different meaning.
- 'cheque' is the way of paying for something, otherwise the word is 'check', as in 'to check the answers'.
- when talking about a computer program, we tend to spell it the American way, it's only programme when talking about a TV show, or the booklet you get at the theatre when you go to see a play
- 'tyre' is the thing on a wheel of a car, otherwise the word is 'tire', as in 'to tire someone out'
- the past tense form of 'to light' is 'lit', just like in American English. We use 'lighted' when it is adjectival, e.g. the 'a lighted candle'.

It's a good site though - check this page out too: http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwesl/egw/jones/words.htm
(again, some of the words listed on the American side are used in English, e.g. argument, can, cookie, corn, guy, napkin, nothing, overpass, pharmacist, rent, sausage (hardly anyone says banger!), sweater, truck.

Ah, linguistics...
