Keep one in my pocket at all times.
R before e ! I'm so confused!
The US spells the word as 'Luster' , the English version is 'Lustre'
Surprise/surprize, honor/honour, valor/valour, dispatch/despatch..
It can occasionally cause issues with publishers, US market vs World market.. etc
Now this post is full of red underlines as I am typing it indicating the site's US spell checker is not a happy camper with me corrupting what it thinks is how the word should be spelt.

Girl tip: When you're going to be on the go, empty the contents of your purse and fill it with nice warm spaghetti. You will have a delicious snack later on when you're out and about.
another interesting thread ...... to clean copper, pennies or jewellery, lemon and salt in a bowl, cover the jewellery and voila - clean .....
Oh I know. I'm just joking. Side note : do you know the main reason we write and speak English different than the other former colonies?
I'm english - i'm going to be biased towards any corruption of the 'proper' way to spell things ......
It is because of Noah Webster, he wanted words to be different from England since America just won their independence in 1776
The things you learn on this site! ;-D
Very educational.
Yes that is partly to blame as far as spelling. But how we speak it has more to do with the distance between the Colonies and the Crown. As the English language changed and evolved for what is now the U.K and Commonwealth it didn't for us. We never got the memo. The revolution played a big part in that also.
Haha most English are! But our corruption is due to historical and environmental reasons as much as Americans after the war wanting to be different than the Crown.
I've never thought of that . Makes sense since the servers are in the U.S .
Australia actually owes its existence to the newly created United Stares of America.
If you hadn't kicked the Brits out on 1776, they would not have had to go looking else where and the first fleet would not have arrived in 1788. Made it just in time too. Just after Governor Philip claimed the land for the British Crown 4 days later, a mob of Frenchmen showed up. As far as the annals of history go, that was a close call.
