SOD! Save Our Diphthongs! Even the silent, redundant ones. Honour, neighbour, humour, colour... And while I am at it - ...ize for ...ise (socialise, sympathise...)! I know it sounds like a Z but what's the fun of having impenetrable word creation rules if you are just going to spell things the way they sound? Damned Americans. You got the colony, leave the frigging *English* language alone! Z.

John Wayne's real name was "Marion". He didn't mind a bit of camp, once in a while. We say "petrol" you say "gas", as if it were a fart. We say "fart": you say "gas", as if it were petrol. You say "'erb"; we say "herb", because there's a bloody "h" in front of it. Ad infinitum, guv' [:D] .
