Do you use the British or American spellings?

[Geki night]

Do you use "favour" or "favor"? "Color" or "Colour"? "Yoghurt" or "Yogurt"? I got the idea from another forum. I use British spelling usually.

You?

I'd rather use the American ones (Most Filipinos use American spellings and formats).

I hate the British ones, no offense.

my country teaches British English so I do spell words the British, but pronounce them the American way.

Similar deal hear in Canada. Being part of the British Commonwealth, our schools teach the British spellings. There are some times, however, where I use the American versions, such as when doing any web-based coding. For example, when I want to change the appearance of text here and make it look, say, blue, I use the American spelling ("COLOR") instead of the original British spelling ("COLOUR"). On a personal note, one British spelling thing that even I can't bring myself to do is to put the extra "H" in words like "doughnut" and "yoghurt." I'll stick with "donut" and "yogurt" in these cases, thank you very much. The extra "H" just looks weird to me.

I use American spellings & don't really like the British ones, but occasionally I'll accidently type "colour". XD
