I'm from Canada. In Canada, we spell colour like that. But in America, it's color, I believe.

I was just wondering, wherever you may be from, do you spell out colour or color?

In Britain it's colour, and since we invented the language, colour is the correct way to spell it. :P

Yep. However I've always been told that when talking about a place use "Centre" (The Blahblah Centre) and when talking about other things like math use "Center" (Center of a circle).

Canada is in America.

I spell it color because that's how it's officially spelled in the U.S dictionary and that's the way everyone else spells it where I live since that's the way we were taught.

Candada is in America.

Even if you spelled Canada right (lol), that's not true.

America is the USA, where as North America is the continent. Add North, and you're right.

Everything looks better with a K, EVERYTHING. Apart from cheese, cause then it would look weird, like "Kheese"

Actually "Kheese" looks awesome. So yeah, everything looks better with a K.
