I know how the word is pronounced now but I still contend that our failure to spell it orderves is a profound cultural shortcoming. We don't owe it to the French to pretend we approve of their unnatural relationships with vowels.

I love that Mr. Webster literally did this kind of thing when he decided to write his dictionary. "That u in colour is unnecessary" etc. He's responsible for a lot of the subtle differences in spelling between American English and British English.
