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?
Yes and anyone else who isn’t able to spell colour properly.

Rather like what tumblr did to ‘tumbler’.

“Amoung” is incorrect
Were any of your favourite shows as a child from abroad?
It was Neopets for me.
I guess it’s Colourado on UK maps…
