"COLOURING IS NOT A WORD."
Over on LJ, the popular thebitingfaery posts a series of amusing images--including a photoshopped one of Bush playing D&D.

skitz0_kitty snags the first comment with:

"Okay now, Mr. President, please roll for the bombing of a foriegn nation."
"Ok-key do-key Dickie! *rolls a 3, 5, and 7* That's 18!"
"No sir, 15."
"Doesn't matter! Even means we blow them up now listen or I'm going to ignore you by making you sit in the corner."
"Sir, that won't be necessary."
"Well good. Now, where's my colouring book?!"

Then the fun starts. The strangely spooky-looking inawhile sees that extraneous u and unleashes the capslock of rage. She's deeply offended by the u (you'd think it skipped out on alimony payments), but not, apparently, by improper capitalization or punctuation:

ok you're from north carolina. COLOURING IS NOT A WORD.

Some people try to reason with her, while others just mock. My favorite part is inawhile's take on the e.e. cummings excuse:

wickerbra: The Wickercabra approves of correct English.

Those who leave out "U"s will be the first to have their souls eaten.

Along with those who leave out apostrophes in words like "DON'T".

inawhile: faulkner left out apostrophes in words like dont. It's a good thing that someone with too much time on their hands creates fake journals and makes stupid comments, though. Correct english in america doesn't have u's, sorry.

There's also some stupidity on display by commenters other than inawhile, such as thebitingfaery's own boggling contention: "[The u's are] not incorrect. The corrupted American form is incorrect." Oh, and: "To use 'color' is one step up from using 'u' and 'y' instead of the whole words, in my opinion."

To make it better, someone posted a link to it on linguaphiles, but there's no wank there yet.
