Choice 1: Rumor Mill
Choice 2: Rumour Mill
Choice 3: Other (Please Specify)
Choice 4: Abstain

This is a public 2-day poll.

Other:

Rum Mill, I always like Captain Morgans.

I kind of like the Brit's spelling, so I'll take rumour for a change.

I like Roomoor Mill, sounds a bit archaeic. :D

Where's the "this thread is spam" option? :mischief:

In my dealings with people from many different countries, I have learned to just adapt to whatever alternative spelling (such as ...or vs ...our) is used. :D

Other: I'd say call it the Civnation Tabloid or Gossip Star...?

I agree. Considering this is an international forum, I don't pay attention to the spelling, especially since for some English isn't their first language.

My vote: However the OP types it.

My vote is, surprisingly, Rumour Mill.

Not only do I prefer English compared to American, I am also having English in my school (I know this is silly). I have already once misspelled tumour in an essay and gotten a wrong for it (spelled it the american way; tumor). I get used to "misspelling" if I do it myself on this forum. I realize I can't put this argument onto everyone else :p, o why don't I stop trying... :lol:

Voting Rumor Mill because I prefer American English to British English.

Because damn it, thats how you spell it you lazy American typists.

[End pointless rant about american spelling, but you still do it because, the English language is something we still have control over!/]

:sarcasm:

I don't know, British English is prettier, but American English is easier.

Best regards,

Rumour!

Europe ftw!

I dislike all the oddball rules that makes English hard to spell. I favor any approach that subtracts letters that aren't pronounced.

I guess you hate french grammar then.

There's a Battle of Hastings mention around here somewhere.

Agreed: More over most words that end in "or" in American that also end in "our" in British should really be spelled either "er" or "r" to match thier pronouciation.

Pff, why don't you write rumour as "roomer" then all at once..

Rumour has won the poll :D
