Hey, Brits, let’s scrap the meaningless “u” in “honourable”.

Let’s not.

The “u” may not sound, but then neither does the “h”.

Once you start throwing out letters just because you don’t don’t sound them, you end up with language stripped of linguistic provenance: those extra pieces of information that differentiate a word from a string of sounds.

We’re not going to start spelling it “onurabel” - which is the logical end of this process.

Hey, Brits, let’s scrap the meaningless “u” in “honourable”.

I guess we'll do that at about the same time you scrap the meaningless 'with' when you 'meet with' somebody! ;)
