Not necessarily.  The city of St. Paul, MN named its  convention center
"RiverCentre".  To me it looks stupdi;-)

Aww...come on John  ;-)

The word "tremor" would look pretty stupid if it was spelt "termor",

Even worse "tremour";-)

likewise the word "tremendous" would looks equally stupid if spelt
"termendous"

Then again "termite" would look a whole lot better if it was spelt "tremite"
and "terminator" would look and sound more fearsome if spelt "treminator"

You do realize that the Americans are the only ones preserving one of our vital
resourses, don't you?

    ^^^^^^^^ As in "licence"?  I'd kill for an explanation....

The rest of the english speaking countries are
squandering their stock of the letter "u".  One day, you'll all have to come to
us to resupply you.  Begging for "u"s.  It makes me sick just thinking about
it.
