Question: What is the correct way to write colour in Wikiquote? Is it the American way or the British way?
Answer: It all depends on who said it or where the text originally came from. For instance:
- A speech by an American would use words like: honor, center.
- A speech by an English person would use words like: honour, centre.
Wrong way
- "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character." - Martin Luther King
Correct way - because Martin Luther King is American.
- "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." - Martin Luther King
