You Say "Yogourt" I Say "Yogurt"

Breyers Frozen YogourtI came across this new product from the Breyers brand of frozen yogurt, and noticed the odd spelling, "Yogourt". Then I noticed that this product is marketed in Canada.

I was aware that yogurt is often spelled "yoghurt", with the additional "h". But I wasn't aware that that folks in Canada, and I presume in Britain and other commonwealths, spell it with the additional "o".

I guess it's just like how they spell other words incorrectly, like "colour" and "analyse".

  • We're not spelling words incorrectly in the Commonwealth, you Americans are.

    Not called Americanish now is it? Either speak your own language, or accept the fact that your nation is wrong on this one of many fronts.

    Maybe you can spell these words for me in your own form of ENGLISH:

    Pretentious
    Self-Involved
    Egotistical
    Elitists

  • Well, we sure don't spell it that way in Australia.

  • Ha, the English are wrong?!! What a joke. You're the ones who can't spell, and we don't add an extra o anyway!
