well, my ap eng teacher said (my mama said fooseball is the devil!!) that even though in the US it's spelled rumor, it's considered "proper" english to spell the word as "rumour". It's the same thing with the word "colo(u)r" but we don't spell "gray" as grey...chyeaa something like that

and as we speak (or type...whatever) my laptop is telling me that I spelled rumour wrong-- oh but rumor is correct lol.
I spell it as rumour because it looks better that way
