Haa I can just hear the Australian accent in my head when I read “Kulla”. Very nice.
And yes, we do pronounce the U as in brochure (“cul-lure”). But the francaphones say it like “cool-lurrrre” so idek what’s going in there. But I’m pretty sure a lot of Americans pronounce the U tho just like they do in Canadian English.
So maybe the optimal solution here for the Americans to add a U and the Australians to drop it, and the French Canadians can keep doing whatever the hell they’re doing if their neat little accents.
As a Canadian I cannot accept this. To drop the U in ‘colour’ would be an affront to my dignity
Even as someone with English as my 2nd language, I know that “Colour” is the proper spelling.
Well, Canadians probably pronounce the U in colour like the U in Brochure.
Do you mean to tell me that Australians don’t pronounce the U?
Saying it out loud sounds like “Kulla”

I will support colour if we can get everyone onboard with ‘behaviour’.
