Colourblind people in the UK can still see it.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

Canada too.

Does this condition only affect US Americans?

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Yes and anyone else who isn’t able to spell colour properly.

As an American I don't know where I learned to spell everything with a u like colour or amoung as a kid but I was so confused when my phone kept correcting me

[-] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 2 months ago

'Amoung' just looks wrong to me. I don't know if it's just another classic English exemption from the rule, or the game has forever changed my perception.

Rather like what tumblr did to 'tumbler'.

I can find no reference to amoung, and have never seen it spelt like that. We're either getting trolled or there's a lie being told somewhere, because I've never, ever heard of this.

I don't know what to tell you haha that's just how I spelt it growing up until I saw a band that spelled it among and had to look it up, I think just having the o without the u felt strange

[-] irmoz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

"Amoung" is incorrect

Were any of your favourite shows as a child from abroad?

[-] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

It was Neopets for me.

I guess it's Colourado on UK maps...

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago

Why does the bottom text say "what blind people see"?

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago

Oh man, imagine this is how you found out you were ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️blind.

And now, without further ado,

[-] renamon_silver@lemmy.wtf 5 points 2 months ago

Denverado never heard of it

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago

"Normal people"

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

The type of what blindness?

[-] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 months ago

I've got a cool Rubik's cube t-shirt but I can never wear it around colourblind people because I don't like that they can see my nipplws through it

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

Colorblind? Bullshit. Black and white are still colors. Actual blindness is the only true colorblindness. 😤

I get it now, racist people can't see colors.
