Does anyone know if UK versions of Chuck's books differ from the American ones? I like the covers of some of the UK versions but I don't want to get them if they're going to read any differently.

Just the covers are different.

I thought this was going to be about The Office.

...the US version is better, btw.

UK versions likely spell everything, C-O-L-O-U-R.

Not everything, the only word we spell like that is actually 'colour'.

what about "favour" or "labour?"

also, I think the UK Haunted had a different preface, no? The Guts Effect or something along those lines.

No he said we spell everything C-O-L-O-U-R. I accept we put a U in where you guys totally forget to put one in, but the joke centred around the C-O-L-O-U-R statement.

Yip just the covers, which reminds me I saw a lovely Hardback copy of Snuff today in the shops, previously it was only in large paperback.

and gray is grey, right ?

and we're too lazy to put in the extra "u" because it is an ugly letter anyway. or is it, anyways ?

Americans aren't to lazy to put the letter in, they just spell it right.

It's not cull-ew'er. It's cull-er.

I'm American and I always spell "humour" with a "u."

and I always frown at spellcheck when it tells me that it's incorrect.

i do the same thing. it's weird, it just doesn't look right to me as "humor." That's the only one I do it with. it's always color or favor. But I add it in when i spell "favourite" too.

Exactly. I guess I switch back and forth with favourite, I never really noticed that before.

But spelling color with a "u" just makes me feel like a snob.
