For dumbing down perfectly good spelling.
English spelling is so far removed from pronunciation that making some tweaks here and there, as Webster did, was hardly worth it. At least ‘colour’ hints at the fact that the second vowel sound is different from the first. ‘Color’ is no help!
Absolutely - well said!
