I didn't go to them, to read them for pleasure. It's just while looking up one 
word, my eye would catch the word at the top of the page. Which would send me 
scurrying to look up _that_ word. Where I'd find the top-of-the-page-word, and 
have to go look that one up...sort of endless loop. 

In school, I got points off for spelling 'gray' as 'grey'. One's American, the 
other British. Frankly, grey is grey. I see it as a particular color. The word 
'gray' isn't that color.

As for the 'u' in some British words, 'colour' has much more character than 
'color'.
