They spelt odour incorrectly.
@Glossy 🙄🤦‍♀️
@Glossy no no, it’s the American way.

@NoGamesTolerated Ah, but I was spelling an English word the English way.
@Glossy And I shared with you that Americans don’t spell it that way!! It would be incorrect spelling here if a child spelled it that way on a spelling test and wrong here for anyone to spell it that way here in the USA.

So I don’t know where the pic was taken and if it was anywhere that odor is spelled odour, then it would be incorrect. BUT it IS considered right in the USA. If you want to lecture someone about how we spell things, I’m not the one you should be talking to… Maybe you want to go back a couple of hundred years and correct them. Just saying! 😊

@NoGamesTolerated Wow. That escalated quickly.

I don’t know why you consider 2 harmless sentences to be a lecture.
@Glossy It just seemed like a smart Alec answer to me. I’m sorry if I offended you. But you seemed to be slagging on the way Americans spell. Nobody alive today established how Americans would spell some English words. But it just is… as you know we speak English too. And if I knew you had been teasing me, I’d have laughed with you. But it didn’t come across that way to me. ✌️

@NoGamesTolerated it seems similar to how the French they speak in Quebec is a different dialect than the French that is spoken in France. Here in America, our version of English has different spellings and pronunciations for certain words.
