Spelling conflict

I was at the toy store earlier, and I saw this little toy airplane.

Product might have wrote:

On the back, where it listed instructions in a few different languages, it said "GB:" (Great Britain), and used the word "color."
Spelling conflict or what?  tongue

Re: Spelling conflict

Ha ha, where do the makers live? They must know nothing about GB's great spelling and saying of things.

Re: Spelling conflict

Eh, maybe it's an american brand with manufacturers in GB?

Which makes me think that they just got lazy in changing the spelling, which makes sense. Sometimes, in packaging, they do the back first.

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
