I have a love/hate relationship with the I-shape forms

"Color" and "colour" are both correct spellings of the word. "Colur" is not. If I teach "color" and another instructor teaches "colour", I can explain to the students that there's different ways to spelling it. If another instructor spells it "colur" I will have a talk with them.

If I want to spell it "color" and my student is doing "colour", I can tell them that is a way of spelling it, but the drill today is "color". If I see them spelling it "colur", I'll tell them that it's incorrect (but also do my due diligence to see if there is a word spelt that way).

Let me take swing at this.

If 'color' and 'colour' are the same, (just from a different system for example), then it could be explained as regional differences for the reason. If another instructor spells if 'colur', this rings very loudly of what you are planning to do.

I only have what you've told us to go by...

You've repeatedly told us your appreciation for the way you were taught and how much it has influenced your desire to teach differently.

But teach what?

Do I need to write my entire curriculum in every post so you don't get confused and think that only what's said in the post is the entire philosophy?

You do know it's possible for things to exist that aren't right in front of your face at this very moment, right?
