    • @jazzx251
      @jazzx251 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      not sure I believe that ... I think it's down to oral tradition.
      If you have a basic idea of what vowels and consonants sound like in the English language ... you would naturally replicate them somewhat phoenetically when you were 3000 miles away.
      Basically - the "U" was cut out because it didn't have any impact on the sound of the word.
      Hence, you still say "devour" - not "devor" [I haven't checked - I hope you don't!]
      But "Flavor" ... that phoentically looks just about right.
      But "Flavour" ["Flayvower"??] ... I can see why that doesn't seem like a good idea.
      You're starting to win me around USA.
      Give me 200 years to adjust.

      That's exactly why I have problems sometimes when I have to write in English (I'm italian).

    The -our comes from French and -or from Latin. At first the US and UK used them equally in English. Later Noah Webster created his dictionary in the US and pushed for -or usage which was his personal preference and it got accepted, though other spellings he came up with were rejected. Samuel Johnson in the UK created his dictionary with a preference to -our because he felt English had more words from French than Latin. In the end, no one is wrong and it could've gone either way, so use a 'u' or not, it was all just personal preference of two people in their respective countries that shaped how everyone would later spell words.

    Speaking from the UK, & also being that I am British, I can attest to the fact that monarchs such as Queen Anne aren't necessarily well known by the wider general public. Certainly she's mentioned on programmes dealing with topics such as monarchy, history etc, but unless you have studied or read about or just have more of an interest than surface info, then really people don't really know about her/Q Anne, & lots of others too. Mainly it's always the really famous that get most of the coverage, & only in things like TV shows. Example 👉🏻
    Tudors, Victoria, The Crown, Last Kingdom, White Queen etc etc. Naming just a few, & then most viewers knowledge of each is basically from said shows, but they will perhaps recognise the names. Not everyone won't know, but I believe that the average person won't know anything about Queen Anne & others. It might be different in Scotland because Q Anne played a part in the act of union forming Great Britain. And it was rumoured that she had a love affair with one of her ladies.
