Colour will always have a 'u' in my book. I accept the American difference but I don't plan to live by it.Sheena-kay Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712661419116636671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438439512128114594.post-77404370941386810742014-04-02T17:53:58.901-07:002014-04-02T17:53:58.901-07:00I love it when English authors do that.

I don't think you should change it because, hello, there are authors who don't like in the US too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438439512128114594.post-16700379594016119892014-04-02T17:27:44.979-07:002014-04-02T17:27:44.979-07:00I always assume when reading the work of authors f...I always assume when reading the work of authors from other lands (If it is obvious) that the differences are language related.<br />Would it be possible to discuss this with the reviewers?<br />I once had a review that said my story was too realistic. It was a true story.

It can be quite frustrating and annoying to live with, actually. If I see one more license plate that reads, "MURICA" I think my eyes will bleed! <br /><br />I say a big old No! There's no need to bow to a format that is not your home's format. If typo-queen can't handle that, unlucky for her!randi leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207001299508931034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438439512128114594.post-41199447194885702702014-04-02T06:52:00.201-07:002014-04-02T06:52:00.201-07:00No, write it the way you would write anything else...No, write it the way you would write anything else. I enjoy seeing the different spellings, such as theatre instead of theater. Stick to your guns. The smart readers will figure it out.Alex J.
