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.
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.

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

Colourblind people in the UK can still see it.

Canada too.
Does this condition only affect US Americans?
PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 1y
Yes and anyone else who isn’t able to spell colour properly.

Rather like what tumblr did to 'tumbler'.

Why does the bottom text say "what blind people see"?

I've got a cool Rubik's cube t-shirt but I can never wear it around colourblind people because I don't like that they can see my nipplws through it

The type of what blindness?
Kolanaki@pawb.social · 2 pts · 1y
Colorblind? Bullshit. Black and white are still colors. Actual blindness is the only true colorblindness. 😤

I get it now, racist people can't see colors.
