The American Heritage Dictionary likes supersede too, although supercede 
makes more sense if it's related to succede in any way. Of course 
sense never stopped the English language.

As for colour, tyres etc. please keep them - they're colo(u)rful! Please 
don't start spelling "world" like you say it though! To my ears, you guys 
barely can bear to say 'r' in some places, so it sounds like "BBC Wuld 
Suvice" to me :-)

We now return you to your regularly seduled(sic) python :-)
