Besides, spelling "colour" incorrectly didn't magically make any
American suddenly able to invent whatever they claim to have invented
(often erroneously). Leaving the "u" out of words, changing meanings,
etc. didn't suddenly make them smarter than they would have been if
they had used *English* properly.

<http://grammarist.com/spelling/color-colour/>

Both spellings are many centuries old. Color, now regarded as the
American spelling, in fact predates the United States by several
centuries. In early use the spellings vied for ascendancy with several
other spellings. Colur, culoure, and coolor, for instance, were all in
the mix before the modern British spelling gained permanent prevalence
in the 17th century.1 The American preference for color took hold in
the middle 19th century thanks in large part to the conscious
simplification of English spellings by people such as the lexicographer
Noah Webster.

Webster reportedly did that to separate US English from British English
because the US had separated itself from England.

The Yanks didn't "invent" that spelling anyway.

I never said they did 'invent' it (just like many other things they
claim to have invented, but didn't) ... but they do insist on using it
despite proper English having the "u".

Languages evolve.  You may not like the evolution.  You may cling to 
what you were taught.  You will die.  English today is not Shakespeare's 
English.  And English in 100 years will not be at all like English today.

Not different at all.

Once literacy hits 80% or so, language doesn't change much.

In Shakespeare's time, the English of 1190 (or even 1400) was not
intelligible and was a different language, but the English of
Shakespeare is still understandable today with very little effort.

"Se godspellere Lucas sægð on þyssen godspelle" for example, was from a
sermon given in 1150. Hell, in the 12th-16th centuries Middle English
still had at least 5 letters that were not part of the modern English
Shakespeare spoke, not to mention the use of diatricital marks that had
compeltely fallen out of use a few hundred years earlier.

Yep. Of course English is different today to what it was in 1915. There
are lots of words and phrases that have been dropped, created, and
altered. The language has changed a lot even just in the last 20 years.

Unfortunately English in another 100 years will be more infested with
incorrect spellings and wrong meanings thanks to the pervasiveness of
American culture.   :-(

Well, if there really is any such thing as corrective entropy, aka

They aren't superfluous ... that's how you correctly spell the word in
proper English (rather than the ridiculous pigeon-English Americans
use). If "u" was superfluous, then it would be "sperflos", which is
probably a dental hygiene product brand name. ;-p

I've seen trailers for US movies with the "coming" date in mm.dd.yy 
format.  Horrid.  And not even for horror shows.

Here's one:
http://www.razorfine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/captain-america-winter-soldier-poster-5.jpg

But maybe that's not an American movie...

Here's another.
http://www.impawards.com/2013/posters/enders_game.jpg [1]

Not American too?  Of course not.  Takes place in space.  My error.

Side note:  Pretty good SF book when I read it decades ago... movie, 
well... okay.
