You're an idiot. Did you not consider that the OP is English, and therefore spells it with a 'u' (making it correct)?
daniero 0
british people write it like that
piinkbunnii 1
Favorite is not misspelled, it depends on where you live. Some countries people are taught to use the letter U in some words. Such as favourite, colour, honour.
Bastet1981 3
the op is from the uk, so how can some miss spell favourite, which is the correct English.

56- Shut up. Just because one person, who happens to be American, is ignorant, doesn't mean we all are. So stop stereotyping.

Unless they're fancy and spell color as colour and cream as creme. O:

CAN WE PLEASE, for the love of all that is good in the world; 1) Acknowledge that people in different parts of the world spell things differently. 2) Realise that people also make typos. 3) Read previous post before saying the same thing as dozens of other people. 4) Google first, then post. 5) Accept that there are stupid people everywhere, not just in America and that you can't judge an entire country by Internet user comments anyway. I have a friend who named her kid Jack Daniel. I died a little on the inside when I found out.
SWEENEY2712 0
56, you are stereotyping all Americans as being stupid which shows that you have no class. I could stoop to your level and say that your people all have ****** up teeth, but I don't, do I?

people shut the **** up we get it's how ******* Brits, Aussies, and Canadians spell. and proper yea right. every country has a right and wrong way of spelling. at certain places in America it is considered wrong to spell words like realize as realise and color as colour. now ******* end it. also not all Americans are dumb but we are smart enough to go to the dentist when our teeth look messed up...
totes_sucks 0
Wow 350, you claim not all Americans are dumb and then go on to insult the entire UK. Most Americans are smart, so I'm guessing you're the exception that proves the rule? The teeth comment is a little reductive. Maybe you can defend your country without insulting another one? Also I feel obligated to point out that due to the free dental and orthodontic care which is provided to low income individuals, most people have completely healthy teeth.
