Search is Color-Blind?

[Cat]

Try to do a search on the word "color" (no quotes).

I get back:

The following search terms are not allowed and were removed from your query: color

This happens even if "color" is part of several words in the search. The word "color" disappears from the search parameters. This happen to anyone else?

Yes it does, but "colour" works... (It might be filtering out using a canadian or british dictionary? )

I guess I spelled it wrong, eh?

Thanks for checking. I also tried the phrase "ramp color intensity" as a test and got back:

" No results found for 'rampintensity' "

You know, there are only 30 millions of my bunch and there are over 300 millions of them south of the border, so I'm careful not to wake up the sleeper.

The 1812 invasion is still fresh to my mind...

Colour, color, favour, favor. I like the good, old fashioned Noah Webster American English. The Queen's English wastes too many good letters that could be better used somewhere else.

I Have a Spelling Checker

Eye halve a spelling chequer

It came with my pea sea

It plain lee marques four my revue

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word

And weight four it two say

Weather eye am wrong oar write

It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid

It nose bee fore two long

And eye can put the error rite

Its rarely ever wrong.

A chequer is a bless sing,

It freeze yew lodes of thyme

It helps me right awl stiles two reed

And aides me when aye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen

Eye trussed too bee a joule

The checker pours o'er every word

To cheque sum spelling rule.

Eye have run this poem threw it

I am shore your please two no

Its letter perfect in it's weigh

My chequer tolled me sew.

Very clever poem but I couldn't bring my self to finishing it, just messed with my head too much, and I'm no critically acclaimed wordsmith or anything. I can't imagine what it must be like for an English professor to read that.

Some people have no sense of humo(u)r. I hope my behavio(u)r hasn't caused our English speaking neighbo(u)rs to harbo(u)r a grudge.

Lets not let the spect®e® of conceit compromi(s)(z)e integrity and (e)(i)nsure we all get with the program(me) of coexistance and co(s)(z)iness.
