Nimble Makes a Motion

**NimbleNota** · 06-14-2005, 12:13

Hello guys as you may or may not know I set up a poll the other day where I said I would announce my intentions after 20 votes and so here it is:

As you can see from my poll the majority of people live outside the United States of America, and only a small percentage from a test of 20 random people live inside the United States (20% I believe)

So my Motion is to change the name of the "The Code of Honor" by adding a "u" to the word "Honor" as this would make the word spelt in the international form of English. At current it is spelt the American way but Americans as you can see only make up a small percentage of our CoH community.

So what do you think should we kick the American English or take on the International English?

Or maybe just let people spell it as they see fit?

Would Honor by any other name, not smell as sweet?

Makes no difference to me

If two others will signify by seconding the motion, and there are no objections, we will carry on the tradition of the original Honour Society.

lol, YES!!! I second your motion

In fact the mis-spelling of honour was my only reservation upon signing.

I second the motion that we use the spelling ...'Honour'.

It does not alter the meaning or interpretation of the word.

It would be nice if it was spelt the right way

**Craterus** · 06-14-2005, 16:21

I'm not at all bothered by it, but sure put it in real English if people prefer it.

**Dutch_guy** · 06-14-2005, 17:32

I don't mind really , never payed to much attention to how it was spelled

**xLittleCrowx** · 06-15-2005, 02:45

Well, I'm from the States and I say you can misspell it anyway you like...

I see no reason to honor the minority as such....

Honour sounds too French for my taste...

It is always “honor” and “armor” for me, and that’s it. But I will go with the flow of majority… Or should I say I’ll be carried away by it?

Honour mon amor… Hmmm…

As an American playing Total War for a few years now, I find myself automatically sticking a "u" in honour and armour in my real life writing, which usually gets grabbed by my spell-checker....... and those words without the "u" now look odd to me.

hmmm, I have to say "honor" looks odd to me. Not wanting to say what is the right or the wrong spelling - just what you are used to I guess.

And yes, you know you have played too much of certain games when you go to work in the morning and say to your boss "Greetings, Sire".
