My friend and I have a little dispute about the word "savior/saviour"?

2010-03-17 8:42 am
I think it is spelled savior. She says, saviour. And we both seemed to have found proof that we are correct. So my question is, is there two ways to spell this word? Or our we confusing it with something else? Does the different spellings mean two different things?

Any advice would help. Thanks.

Savior is our American way of being lazy. We cut the "u" out of the Brittish saviour.

Hope this helps! :-)

It the difference between the American convention ... savior ... and the UK convention ... saviour. Same as color and colour.

They're just conventions, so nobody should get too upset to see the 'other' version of the word in the 'wrong' setting.

There are several words Europeans still try to sneak a 'u' into in english spellings; but it's of French derivation and therefore obviously a sneaky plot to confuse our already grammatically challenged youth. Well Pierre' - you're too late, We've lost.
