humor
/hjuː.mə(ɹ)/
The word "humor" can be spelled as "humour" in British English, while "humor" is the standard American spelling. When used as a noun to mean something funny, it is usually an uncountable noun (you don't say "a humor"). When used as a noun to describe a mood, it often follows the pattern "in a [adjective] humor," such as "in a good humor" or "in a bad humor." As a verb, "humor" is used when you go along with someone's ideas—even if you think they are wrong—just to avoid an argument or make them happy.
