1. I was watching TV in my hotel room late at night in Niagara Falls, Canada. I could get American and Canadian TV signals there because I was at the border. There was an ad for Clairol with some lovely chicks showcasing their hair. Next to a lovely babe with long red hair was the logo: it said "Clairol Colour Treatment". I was watching an ad on Canadian TV.
2. At
Oakes Parks in the Niagara area I was having a nice discussion with a Canuck lady. She said that I must be an American because I said "out" as opposed to "
ewt". I said that yes I'm a Yank and that I spell "colour" with 5 letters, not 6.
3. Cyndi Lauper had a hit in 1986 with "True Colors". In 1998 Phil Collins released his version of it, respelling it as "True Colours" beings that he is British.
3. "
Any Colour You Like" is a synthesizer-heavy instrumental by Pink Floyd.
4. The TA for one of my college classes is a Canadian. He says that American spelling for words like "catalogue" becoming "catalog" and dropping the "u" in "colour" to make "color" is a sign of laziness. Hey, it eliminates
excess baggage. It's called "simplifying". That's the American way, fella!
5. Eeeeeeeeeyeww! What's your favorite color baby? ...
LIVING COLOUR.
