And if people would start using the language right, people wouldn't have an excuse to abuse it "because everyone else does".

But "what everyone else does" IS right. Language changes and morphs along with those speaking it. If it didn't....
Well, let's put it this way, would YOU like to be speaking Old or Middle English right now?
Wait, don't answer that, you're just nutty enough to say "yes".

Oh crap, that's too serious. Pretend I said something culturally insensitive instead.

As it should be!
It obviously is colour and armour. As Dr. Mechano said; you butchered the language! (No offense, I have loads of American friends/relatives). If the English originated from England then wouldn't that logically mean that the English spelling of the word is correct?
This is a nationalistic debate, stop bringing LOGIC into it!
