2 cents from the great white north.

Besides the tire spelling, those are also the correct Canadian spellings for these words as well.

Kind of goofy really, but no goofier than the imperial system. How many feet in a mile again?

It's sad that whenever I see words in British spellings, I say them in my head as they're spelled...
colour=colouuur
centre=centry
labour=labouuur
tyre=tiiiiiire
theatre=theatry

:rofl:
