Quick check -- since you mentioned "ou"s :) --

The other day I saw someone spell the word I would spell as "glorious" as "glourious," and when I objected somoene else proposed that it was a UK spelling. That seems so *very* unlikely to me -- after all, it's colour and honour, not coulour and hounour -- but I am *not* a native English-english speller, so... ??

Typo, as I thought? Or correct-in-some-version-of-English?

Typo. "Glorious" is correct.

OK, good. My faith in my English-spelling instincts is confirmed :D

IT's decidedly glorious, not glourious. They might have been fooled by the recent Tarantino movie of thorough misspelling.

I admit, the spelling made me wonder if someone was really remarkably good at glowering....
