Yes - the ancient and medieval world was much more colourful than we think.

"Proper" spelling? :-\

Typing colour does not generate an indication of a spelling error when I type it here.
You may need to check your word-processing package and ensure it is set to use British English.

No she's not, she's German!
Its not the forum that has its spelling set wrong, its your web browser, or your computer.
If I type color then it auto corrects to colour anyway (and if I edit the corrected version it then gets a red squiggly line) this is with Safari on OS X
So what language is "vanadalised" ? :D
