I must admit I actually agree with the removal of unnecessary 'U's from words like 'colour' and 'flavour' etc. Makes sense to me. "right, not read the rest of this thread *apologies if Moth or someone has already had a shout about this) but this generally gets my goat a bit. They are not unnecessary, "O" is pronounced differently than "OU", the extra letter changes not just the pronunciation but the length of the vowel too.
