There is no "proper" English, there are only various versions of the original. If you really want to nitpick, American English stayed "truer" to the original English because of various reasons while the British version diverged more over the 18th-19th centuries.

Or in a shorter form, adding a 'u' to make some words sound more...French...is just silly.
