It might have been pretty 'bad' Rick, lol...but you didn't correct the  
misperception that spelling those words correctly with the 'u'  left in, is in any 
way a 'dialect'.  Hmm....rather, it's the Queen's  (or King's) English..and 
far precedes any Johnny-come-lately changes made to our  language by upstart 
Americans. ;)
 
I still remember the humiliation of being told I'd failed my very  first 
typing class test here in NY two weeks after arriving from Scotland,  purely 
because I'd quite properly spelled colour, neighbour and so forth  with a 'u'.  Oh, 
the ignominy of it...I shan't ever live it down. ;)

It makes the language more colourful. You might labour  to understand it 
neighbour, but  it's a matter of honour to those of us  living under the rigour of 
the Commonwealth.
Harp content? hmmm.....well,  playing the harmonica is an Hohn-ourable 
occupation... sorry that was pretty  bad!

You spell "favorites" with a 'u'.  Who can  read that dialect? ;-)
