[Nitestick]

the other day i was eating some cadbury chocolate and for some reason i bothered to read the back of the wrapper. i noticed this:

So that movie the colour purple obviously owes them a lot of money.

no cause that movie was made in america it's spelled CORRECTLY as "COLOR" not colour so the movie is fine.

I recall somthing about a patent that craft put on craft dinners particular tone of orange so that other brands of mac and cheese were disolowed to emulate it.

[RANT]lol. Hmmmm, I think you'll find the correct spelling is: "The language came from ENGLAND, that's why it's called ENGLISH, therefore, the way English people spell colour is correct"

(Also, we discovered Aluminium and named it, so you guys really do spell THAT wrong!)[/RANT]

LOL. Jk, you spell what you want, how you want..

EDIT: Oh, and I think it's preposterous that Cadbury's think they can copyright purple. If that's the case, Im going to copyright Magnolia. That'll [snipped] off all those Buy-to-let homeowners.....

So what. Aussies and Yanks have different spellings for words. Big deal.
