That's how we were taught. Not our fault. I do think it looks better without the u though.. no need for it actually. 😁

@Pinkrainbowkisses: Well we didn't teach you that spelling! There is a need for the 'U'. It distinguishes those that learned to spell from those that didn't. Really it is a language herritage.
@Gumba1000: Tell Webster.. he's to blame lol. Honestly though I don't see what the big deal is if we put a u in it or not. It amazes me that I've seen such a fuss over something so stupid on here.. many times. 😂😂

@Pinkrainbowkisses: I will tell him next time I see him. English is made of French, German, Italian, Latin, Scandanavian, Gaelic and Dutch. It is a verbal monument to a collaboration over time. It is the most learned language in the world and the most universal. English is a great legacy of history. Changing it just because it is hard for some to learn, is not a good reason!
Note I don't mean Americans find it hard to learn English, I was just stipulating that that might have been a reason whichever American removed my 'U's in the first place.
