Just a topic that came up in my mind after reading threads in Chit Chat!
How many of you have migrated, are migrating, or intending to?
Where would it be? and why would you do so? Contrast some of the things that you can have over there and not here, vice versa. Just curious..

Words such as "Labour" and "Colour" were too hard for the average american to spell, so they dropped the u.

i was mostly referring to the fact that half of you can't spell simple english words, regardless of locale.
