Re: Favour or Favor / Honour or Honor

i just had my invitation store do it the way they normally do... im pretty sure she does 'honour, favour'

Re: Favour or Favor / Honour or Honor

I've also read that 'honour' is used to symbolize a religious ceremony.

Re: Favour or Favor / Honour or Honor

I made them change favour to favor and honor to honour.

The use of the letter 'u' in these words is from Elizabethan English. I work with a bunch of Brits and am always correcting their editorial/letters/copy. I wanted to keep it American only bc it's a stupid pet peeve.
