True, sometimes. I like the spelling "colour", although I'm American. I kept spelling it like that all the time until teachers got into a hissy fit about it, and I had to retrain myself to spell it without the u. Personally, I don't see why it matters. They're just alternate spellings.
Also, sorry about not being clear on the college thing. I forgot that means different things in other countries. Keep in mind that I am from the US, so you'd know what I mean when I say things like that. I did mean university and technical school. Americans usually include both when they say simply "college".
Next poster is not from the US.
