Now lookie here
This is not funny, is it?
I mean, I want to write something
In the 'humour' category (UK spelling)
But it's never there
It's always 'humor' (USA spelling)
C'mon now, you got no 'U's there
On your typewriter or keyboard?
And did typewriters go out of use
About 5 million years ago?
I worked in one place
Some dodgy electrics
If one used the fax machine
It cut off everything else electrical
We might have blown up!
Then again - do fax machine exist these days?
The basic ones, I mean
Nothing complicated or technological
And - is it 'humorous' or 'humourous'?
Does the UK change to USA spelling
To give us 'humorous'?!
Oh, I dunno, maybe it's 'humerus'
A bone of the arm! lol.

Sounds like a bone of contention and I wonder if it is gray or grey or if you want to dig deeper plough or plow it up and analyze or analyse it. A great writ Orchi I won't apologize or should I say apologise for my spelling because it has always been bad anyway. A fun read and a fave
Thank you SB. lol.
You are welcome Orchi
Too funny O 🤣
Thank you A. lol.
This cracked me up...Wan Ken! Oi be, It’s got that rambling pub-talk energy that somehow circles back to something oddly clever. “Maybe it’s ‘humerus’”... yeah, that one got me. Pure Orchi fun. 🌹👏
Thank you Wan, Popeye, erm, whoever you are! lol.
To....ristan! 🙂
Prolly a very necessary bone, good Sir. I keep trying to utilize some choice UK spellings but weary of autocorrect. But you should know me by now, my style is mixing and matching. Have fun!
Thank you CM.
Don't go there about the difference of writing ENGLISH in the English or American way Orchi.
