Judy – What type of English is that? What did you write, you have so many spelling errors?

Sally – Spelling errors, I spell checked the paper, I was more concerned about sentence structure.

Judy – simple words like color, behavior, flavor you spell incorrectly. Why is there a “U” in those words? [call out the words: behaviour, flavour, colour.

Sally – why do you think that its spelt incorrectly, how would spell it

Judy – [spell the words without the letter u]
