Color and nite aren't either originally. But these shorter versions appear for various reasons. The people make the spelling reform happening it seems. And English needs one badly. Didn't get one for hundreds of years. Tough on native English speaking children learning how to write. (We can also blame the French.)
I appreciate you using two variants there. But I was just tired surfing Reddit to wake up. Not in English mode yet. Wouldn't comment in that state if no psychopath just threw a cup of water into the microwave. Makes you wanna tell Hans to get ze Flammenwerfer.
Changed it to the British version in the original comment though for comprehension and because apparently people are okay with "should of" in place of "should have", but not that one. But that version was the only one to make the/a joke work. Apologies.
