That's because you spelled it correctly. What color tire have you got on your SUV
If it helps, I thought it was funny. Silly-ass British (Australians are just desert British) spellings. You'd think the group that seems to cut half the letters out of the pronunciation of any given place name wouldn't also be the group adding fucktons of unnecessary letters to words since they won't say them anyways.
Then again, French exists.
The extra u's don't bother me but spelling check as cheque to distinguish between a bank check and other senses of check is ridiculous. Especially considering a bank check has the same etymological roots as the rest
