Hey th answer to your colour, color question is simple. There is an American way and a Canadian way of spelling it. colour is canadian and color is americam. I’m unaware of how Europeans spell it but thats the reason for two spellings.

to answer your grammer question, i’m no einstine, but i’m pretty sure that colour is the original way to spell that, color is the commercalised version, which came about right around when crayola crayons were invented, so, i guess you can use it either way.

I also enjoy your site regardless of little grammar issues :-) You speak/write in English just as well as many people who were born in the states. English grammar can be such a pain in the butt that lots of people born and raised here don’t totally get it. I, for example, passed all my Spanish classes in high school and college with A’s, but nearly flunked English grammar every time!

Actually, Meisha is wrong about “there,” “their” and “they’re.”

“They’re” means “they are.” EXAMPLE: They’re outside.

“There” refers to a place. EXAMPLE: The books are here (in a place close to me) and the pencils are there (far away).

“Their” means that it belongs to ‘them’. EXAMPLE: It’s their bike, not yours or mine.

So, if I said “They’re over there, but their stuff isn’t there.” it would be like saying “They are in that are farther away, but the stuff that belongs to them is not in that place.” ^-^

Nice illusion, by the way.
