There are many differences in american and English words and spellings. Amricans drop 'o' in 'our' so 'colour' is 'color', 'Honour' is 'honor' and so on.

There is nothing wrong in revising spellings for compatibility with pronunciation and ease of writing. The British word Queue is pronouced as 'q' and so spelt in American Englsh. 'U' for 'you' is welcome. However, there will be anarchy in language if everyone attemps to revise speelings.

Indian English is best. The english is no more British. The Asians- prominently Indians- are the largest english speaking people. A dictionary of Indian English sholld be compiled. Quite possible, Indian english may one day be considered most authentic.
