Noah Webster, of Webster's Dictionary fame.  It's all his fault.

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.

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.

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.
