Is it your Honor or your Honour?

Honor and honour are two spellings of the same noun or verb. The spelling depends on the type of English.

  • In American English, you use your Honor as a title of respect (e.g., to address a judge).
  • In British English, you use your Honour instead.

The same difference applies to similar words, such as “behavior or behaviour,” “labor or labour,” “favor or favour,” “favorite or favourite,” “color or colour,” and “humor or humour.”
