OOOOOOHHHHHHH, Ken. Come on now. Almost all of the kids who have been passed on to high school can read at fourth grade level and write at about second grade level. Quit picking on them.

I've decided to try to take the highroad from here on out, If the title has an acronym I can't decipher, I'll just pass on the thread. More then likely because I am old and cranky they don't want my opinions/help anyway!

Okay. But I believe RCU was generated from the ashes of RCOnline, IIRC.
I just meant I don't believe RCU was ever called RCOnline.

Please, think what it’s like for people from other English speaking countries, since your printing industry has totally revised the spelling of many common words in order to save a few dollars, it makes searching problematic at times.( colour has a U in it ). It is only a matter of time until publishers change to SMS and WEB based spelling platforms. This should make reading the classics even more challenging.

I believe that you have it reversed in the case of color/colour seeing that the Latin root is spelled color. The spelling colour came in use in Middle English which was borrowed from Old French.
