Webster, Noah
It was Noah Webster who gradually introduced many of the changes between U. S. and British spelling, dropping the '''u''' from words like ''color'' and ''honor,'' changing the '''-re''' to '''-er''' in words like ''center'' and ''theater,'' and changing '''-ce''' to '''-se''' in words like ''license'' and ''defense.''
