Ahh yes, good old .NET Canadian. It's exactly the same as normal .NET, except all methods and properties referring to 'Color' have been changed to 'Colour'.

As a Canadian .NET developer, this has caused me endless headaches when trying to pull in American graphics libraries via NuGet.

Autocorrect got me there and I could not figure out how to edit the comment. I forgot what I meant to write there if anything but the point stays the same.

I figured you were a victim of autocorrect. I was just having a bit of fun with it.

I thought you might have been taking about the .NET Foundation but made a typo and it got mangled by autocorrect.

Regardless, I agree with your point. The name of things in the .NET ecosystem is a bit confusing right now.
