    One day if we are brave, we will get rid of the U in a lot of British words like color and armor, but by God we will keep the British U in the word glamour!

  I think you’ll find most of the time the British use precisely the number U’s they intend to though typos may afflict even the best.

  And when you do use those ⟨U⟩ (I do), people assume that you know what’s going on in the UK (I don’t.).
