How do you feel aboot this, eh? (who says aboot?)

Whether it’s centre, labour, coulour, theatre or metre, Canadian language is being threatened by globalism. The exchange of ideas and knowledge is an incredible commodity but is it necessary to lose our identity in that exchange? Are our “ou’s” and “re’s” as important as maple leaves, beavers and beer or should we buckle and spell these words like an American simply because it’s already built into computer dictionaries?
