Yes, but you were wishing citizens of the U.S. a happy "Labour Day."  You know
that saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"?  I would not call one of those
British political parties the "Labor Party," because that is not how the British
spell it.  If you are wishing citizens of the U.S. a happy Labor Day, please at
least have the courtesy to spell it the way we do here.

Thank you so much for your consideration.
