That or/our thing is funny ... leaving the 'u' in 'our' is proper british english because of course the english language consists basically of an old german Niedersachsen dialect corrupted by french [it has also robbed words from every other language on the planet, but at heart it is german polluted by french][well, Church Latin as well] ... quite often here in BC you'll find prissy spell-checker types who insist on the 'u' but who at the same time object to the french on the back of the cornflakes box ... too funny, something like a latent panic for fear of lack of identity ... you need to understand that outside of wartime one of the few identifiers canadians have is that we are 'not american', lol.
