I'm not Canadian.

No really. I'm not. I'm also not British. So why is there an extra "u" in the title of my blog? That's an interesting question, and one that I really have no idea how to answer.

Maybe I was just feeling particularly fancy that day. This "u" could in fact have been the literary equivalent of holding up one's pinky as one drinks one's ice cold Dr. Pepper.

Perhaps I am, in fact, just a horrible speller, and this particular mistake just made me look a little north-of-the-border rather than incompetent.

Possibly I just really like the letter. I am typically a little unselfish, so the letter "u" might naturally draw me to it.

The reality? No idea. I honestly didn't know that the spelling was alternative until about twenty minutes ago. Apparently I'm just ignorant.
