Agreed, it's not a very helpful suggestion, is it? Do United Arab Emirates and Uganda also spell colour with a u?



No idea about either, but: Uganda would be helpful (and hey, Idi Amin did claim the title "King of Scotland!" :-) -- but the UAE wouldn't, for the exact same reason as the UK: The "U" there stands for the exact same "United" as in UK / US.


If only it were spelled "crouwn" or "courounation" in Britain, that would help! But, alas.
