What did the letter U ever do to U?  


U just decided to take it out of words.

We hate U's. A nation of them attacked us way back in the day, and now the painful humiliating memories persist to this day.

It's one of the things we got rid of when we separated from England. We also took away extra L's and changed the S for the Z.

Well if the U in unnecessary like when you can't hear it like in the word colour, then take it out make it shorter so we have more problems making a four page essay.
