Actually, strictly speaking, "blonde" is used to describe a female with light hair, and "blond" is used to describe a male with light hair (or any other light-colored object, such as "blond wood"). |

I never knew that about "blond". Whee, you really do learn something new everyday!

Colors is the american way to spell it, colours is the canadian way. So technically I should spell it "colour" because I live in canada, but I spell it "color" anyway. Cause I use html and you have to spell it "color" to make it work...also because I'm just too damn lazy to press an extra key

colors is the american way to spell it... but I still spelled it colours for awhile when I was reading a lot of books by british authors... I still spell it theatre rather than theater and sometimes favourite...

I've been taught British English for my whole life.
I only use the word 'color' for HTML tags and that sort. |

I think I already did this poll. But I never did a poll on the date of August 23, 2005.
So yeah, here I say it again lol. I say it in colors. Not colour. I never use the word, colour. I know that I used to use that when I had art class. |

I don't type "ou" with the word "colors", but I do with the word "Humour".
