I've done my bit to put it back. Sort of.
When I was a sophomore in high school (10th of twelve grades in the US), we got the word 'color' on a spelling test. I thought that was a bit below us, so in a fit of rebellion I used the English spelling. Marked incorrect, of course. When I argued the point with the teacher, she got all stuffy about it. Something about living in the US, not in England.
