I know to some this will sound picky, but as the "British Armor" forum is supposedly about British Armour, is it too much to ask that the title is spelt the English or British way ie. Armour with a "u".
Anyone agree?
If you do put your mark here, Please.

Definitly spell Armour correctly as of course this stems from the days of knights of old.

That has my vote, as modellers we are suppose to be as accurate as possible.

Add my vote, too. That Webster has a lot to answer for in the way he messed up the English language. Some say it was out of anti-British anger others; that it made it easier for Americans to understand. Anyway; Armour it should be. I won't go so far as to call for a change to Armourama though.

I agree,but you know what they say about Americans and British, ,"Two countries divided by a common language". I mean since when are herbs pronounced erbs?
Does that mean if your name is Herbert it should be pronounced erbert?
Cheers,Nolan.

In Heinleins book Glory Road one character asks a French waiter "Do you speak English?" The waiter replies "Yes, and I understand American, too!"...
