Both; Canadian/British English uses the 'our' for words such as colour, honour, armour etc and American English uses the other term.

Could someone tell me what's the bloody correct spelling of the words "Honor" and "Armor"?
Cuz I could had sworn that's how they are written, yet I've seen SO MANY PEOPLE writing them as "Honour" and "Armour".
which ones are correct?
"ou" is the English spelling, "o" is the American spelling.

I'm gonna make a vanilla cheesecake to go with my
cold brewed coffee
.
I've never liked/understood that phrase. Is that coffee that was brewed and then chilled? If so, why isn't it "cold brewed-coffee"? Or is the water poured over the coffee cold, thereby being "cold-brewed coffee"?
“
Oh, this language of the solids. It’s so imprecise.
”.
All I need now is a lively debate to devour people in while I enjoy my afternoon treat. Any ideas for a topic? Any volunteers for conversation?
Does that count? :P If not, what about the
slave labour in the UK
? Or, if you get the quote, we could talk about that series, I haven't spoken to another fan in a while.
Cold Brewed Coffee:
When a hot water percolator is used to brew coffee the "standard" way, hot water is blasted into grounds, filtered down through them, and then strained into a pot that keeps the coffee drink warm. The hot water, when it impacts the grounds, releases the acids and oils in the grounds. The bitter aftertaste you get when you drink a standard cup of coffee comes from those acids. If you sit down and drink 5 cups of coffee in a row, your stomach will probably hurt, due to those acids.
The method I use to brew coffee is substantially different. I take a large plastic container (in my case an old 3 gallon pork rinds container), and dump a pound of coffee in, then I put about 2.5 gallons of cold water into the container. I rubber band a coffee filter onto the top of the container, and let it sit on my countertop overnight. In the morning, I turn the concoction over, and balance it over an empty pitcher. After a half hour, the coffee is strained out of the drink, I have myself very very strong coffee in a pitcher. That pitcher of coffee will last about a week, if it is refrigerated. I take about 2/3 to 1/3 mixture coffee liquid and water. I microwave that, mix in a spoon of sugar, a dash of vanilla, and a gob of heavy whipping cream. I top the drink off with a head of home whipped cream and powdered sugar, and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
The aftertaste is similar to the aftertaste of hot chocolate, instead of your standard battery acid you get from hot brewed coffee. You can also drink 3 dozen glasses in a row and have no ill side effects on your gut, besides being hyper and perhaps a powerful BM.
My homemade vanilla cheesecake is hardly cheesecake at all, but more like a buttery bready concoction that is heavy and sticky with a soft crust. Delicious.
UK slave labor:
I agree with your points, but on a broader scheme. I don't think government needs to be subsidizing those who do not work. They already pay food, medical, welfare, etc (if I understand UK benefits, which I like to think I do). So, I don't think we'd have much of a debate there.

Reading some fan-reviews of Skyrim I noticed something funny :P
Just about every single negative review on the game, always mentions the same thing "its not like oblivion, oblivion was WAY better, with more immersion, better story, better characters ect ect"
Then reading Oblivion reviews, just about every single negative review always mentions the same thing "Its not like morrowind, morrowind was WAY BETTER, with mor immersion, better story, better characters, ect ect"
Then reading Morrowind reviews, just about every single negative review always mentions the same thing "its not like daggerfall, daggerfall was WAY better, with more immersion, better story, better characters(Lol?) ect ect"
Where have we seen this? OHH YEAH, in warcraft xD.
Almost all the complaints at cata don't forget to remark how awesome WOTLK was. Back on WOTLK every single critic at it, always reminded us how awesome TBC was, and I'm fairly certain that all complaints against TBC back in its days would had reminded us how awesome vanilla was.
I'm 100% sure that with 9 to 10 months we're gonna be hearing how awesome cata was, and how much MoP sucks.
man, gamers are so predictable.

^ No doubt, I avoid caffeine but that does sound tempting.
I don't think there's any equivalent to food stamps or free transport in the UK, which would be pretty important factors in surviving and getting a job respectively.
Also, "ou" is actually a fairly recent borrowing from French, the "o" spellings are more faithful to Latin. That said, lol prescriptivism...
Certain English spellings like "foetus" can be attributable entirely to a single transcription error.

Huh? œ is a Latin diphthong.
That looks a lot like an 'æ'.

I've done cold-brewed a few times. I can confirm that it makes a wonderful coffee that you can then prepare in lots of different ways. The acidity is so low, it's wonderful and makes coffees I usually don't much like (like Kenyan) really drinkable.
