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

I like Roomoor Mill, sounds a bit archaeic. 
Where's the "this thread is spam" option? 
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.

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
, o why don't I stop trying...

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!/]

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

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.
