1．"Colour" and "color"， "favourite" and "favorite"， "honour" and "honor"...Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a "u"？Is it because they are lazy？

Webster wasn't shy about expressing his opjye.aiions.In defining" preposterous （unreasonable），he wrote： "A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.
Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70，000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828.He also added local words.
His dictionary was widely used in schools.Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity" and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.
