1615237637: A New Hope:  What colour is a Stormtrooper???

We'll never know - you never any take their helmets off during to OT ;)

although props for spelling 'colour' correctly [despite the OT spellchecker] :)

I spell colour like that too. I used to get bad marks in english class for spelling it that way, My teacher would go its COLOR NOT COLOUR. But I noticed that the english spell colour like that and seeing as americans use their language we should spell things correctly.

I am gonna toss it out there. White? or is it an answer like blueish white or antique white. The stormtropper looks like the blue milk on the 2004 dvds and they look white on the gout. so WHITE

......and yet you fail to capitalize "Americans". Hmmmmm.......I think a few more bad marks are in order.

;-)

We get demoted to americans now. When the economy gets better I will put it as Americans. Actually that is bullshit. I do not like moving my pinky over to the shift button to capitalize letters. LOL. Plus I nearly failed typing class for looking at the keyboard. Why do they care if you look at the keyboard. My computer is in my lap most of the time anyway and I can see what I am typing when looking so BAD MOVE BY SCHOOLS. Good think I learned to look down when my teacher couldn't see me. Then I gradually got better with my periphreal vision. Come on mrs. huffine give me an F for punctuation and spelling LOL. Hell we don't really need to type that well. Well atleast I didn't when I had a job only for resumes to get new jobs.

Um......okay (?) :-P

Just out of curiosity, how do you spell defense (defence)? There are lots of words the British spell differently than we do, not just the "o/ou" words like color (colour) and honor (honour).

Defence or defense? Hmmm.... I am not sure. Usually if it has red lines under it I will change it to what it says is right regardless. In Old English prior the way English is today things were spelled how they sound. There wasn't really any silent letters LOL.

But on most days I spell it as Defense simply because I am forced to. That is how our country has told us to spell it. Being one of my vocabulary words in grade school I had to write it 100 times and then write the definition. I was a great speller in grade school. Computers have pretty much taken away our need to spell correctly. I noticed that when YouTube comments started getting the red spell check lines. But they needed to do that because you cannot understand what some people say. "mayn tht vido is wck i thohgt it was horibel nobdy shood pst tht crap" (I only got red lines for horrible and thought LOL). I read that all of the time. Luckily I have friends that type and write letters like that so I have learned to decypher them.

There are quite a few other errors, indead.

It could have been re-written to be clearer, as well.

And, as a side note, we Canadians are forced encouraged to spell like our friends 'across the pond' (well, the English ones, at least).

:P

Wow, gotta love off-topicness everywhere here now.

Now?  Trust me, it's always been like this.  Which is why I love it.

Haha

well, it's just that the last trivia thread managed to stay clean.  Somehow.

That's quite alright. I forgive you.

Ok, thank you!

Now, Let us leave English class for today. LOL!

Axia, I want another trivia question unless, in some mysterious way my answer to the color of the stormtroopers is wrong. It isn't, is it?

Or, are the stormtroopers some off-white colour? I mean you did want a simple answer, did you not?

If you wanted a simple answer then my answer is white.

I really shouldn't even get started on this... I really shouldn't... I am not going to. I promise. I just feel that it is important to note that regional differences in language are perfectly respectable, and it is a bit silly to seriously say something is "incorrect" when it is in fact properly adhere to the local dialect. Both "color" and "colour" are correct, the former is merely American English and the later British English. Props to your teacher for trying to teach you the language as spoken in your country. So much more I could say on this. Not getting into it... Shutting up now. Ziiiiiip!

By the way Johnny, I could be mistaken, but I am only pretty sure OT.com has no spell checker. Perhaps it is FireFox (or whatever other non IE browser you are using) that has the spell checker, as mine does? If that is the case, you can very easily change your spell checker settings to "REAL" English, as opposed to American English, if you wish to.

Axia hasn't been about for a few days. It was Hotrod that asked the Stormtrooper question.
