Heh, just been doing some programming in Delphi and got screwed on the colour property of these labels, cause they use american spelling!
I've just gone through, tediously, a few hundred lines of code adding a method to change colour of these labels that get displayed etc. Anyway here's a basic line of code which i did, which changes the colour of the particular label, to my default/universal Labelcolour.
CCD61.feedsolidsalt5.colour := LABELCOLOUR;
So after i added all this, i compile to check it out and get a compile error -> Undeclared identifier: 'colour'
heh, then i thought
damn you America! and your American delphi libraires/properties!!
So i now have to go through about 200 or so lines of code deleting u's to make it back to
color. It'll only take 5 minutes or so but i think i might get carpal tunnel syndrome just doing it
Unfortunatley i can't (or don't think i can) search substrings to change/replace values
With that anecdote, i was wondering why the Americans have to be different and spell things like color, favorite etc like they do. Where'd the
u go?
Also, what's up with gray? It's a raditaion unit not a colour
Basically just wondering about why the difference occurs, between Australia/british/european english and the American version?
