Seriously, in 5 years I've never typed it out so what do I care how it's spelt?

Remember, the British are European mutts, whilst Yanks are global mutts. British English is an amalgam of bits & pieces from the conquering hordes over the last thousand or so years, whereas the Colonies used that as a starting point and have added to its richness by incorporating additional terms and uses from the Slavic, Asian, and other world languages. ;)

Could you make it any less subtle the way you say the same thing twice but make one sound positive and the other negative?

It's taken me an hour to pull my eyes away. I was seeing all kinds of things in there. Someday I'm going back.

But, anyway, that's iJ telt.
 
While I would prefer the British spelling because I am of course, British, I wouldn't mind either way.

Of course, it would be nice to have MacRumours.com redirect to MacRumors.
 
As someone who speaks and writes British English, I'm biased in favour (another redundant "u") of Mac Rumours, and the whole magnificent resonances of the language of the Bard of Stratford. However, there is the point that the site is US based, (and is known to be such, hence the brand name has stuck), has been created by a citizen of same, and, perhaps, most importantly, the whole vocabulary of computing and IT came from Silicon Valley, and is thus natively, and organically, American. So, Mac Rumors, it is, then, alas.
Cheers

That would require Arn to purchase the domain from

Whois information for: macrumours.com

Registrant:
Name Administration Inc. (BVI)
Box 10518 A.P.O.
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands B.W.I.
KY

Since this is a company that specifically registers domain names to then resell, I am guessing they might want quite a bit more than Arn would want to pay for it.

Now, if we could get you all to realize that Macbook Pro cases are made of aluminum not aluminium, we would be getting somewhere! :D :D :D
