Yes and anyone else who isn’t able to spell colour properly.
As an American I don't know where I learned to spell everything with a u like colour or amoung as a kid but I was so confused when my phone kept correcting me
'Amoung' just looks wrong to me. I don't know if it's just another classic English exemption from the rule, or the game has forever changed my perception.
Rather like what tumblr did to 'tumbler'.
I can find no reference to amoung, and have never seen it spelt like that. We're either getting trolled or there's a lie being told somewhere, because I've never, ever heard of this.
Source: Canadian; proficient with there, their and they're.
I don't know what to tell you haha that's just how I spelt it growing up until I saw a band that spelled it among and had to look it up, I think just having the o without the u felt strange
"Amoung" is incorrect
Were any of your favourite shows as a child from abroad?
It was Neopets for me.
