I would like to remind everyone (particulary those inside the United States) that there is no such word as mom. In fact the word is mum and if I hear you say mom again the Queen of England will get James Bond on your ass!
 Also it is not color but coloUr! lol This has being a public service announcement by the Department of Proper Speaking under the authority of her majesty the Queen Elizabeth the 2nd of England.
