American spelling
Yes, it's been done before and so on. Yes, it pisses me off. But, for those people who have no clue as to why the English language has some apparently redundant letters in it, I will remind you that you speak a language that has continuously evolved over 1200 years and point you to this site:

Hint: The extra U has got nothing to do with pronounciation. A little gem of a fact that your man there who phoneticised the American version singularly failed to notice.
