Cause/ because

Cause/ because
Message from baodali posted on 18-12-2015 at 14:22:29 (D | E | F)
Good evening everybody,

I read a sentence "To be honest, it is a hard work to copy color from photo cause color will be different from different computer"
I think it good to replace the word "cause" with "because" in this sentence. Maybe it is a typo made by the writer, am I right?
Really thank you for your any reply!

Hello,
I think the sentence should be:
"To be honest, it is hard work to copy color from photo cause color will be different from one computer to another."
"from different computers" should be plural anyway and doesn't make sense.
Or it could be:
"To be honest, it is a hard work to copy colour from photo because different computers will display different colours" (colour/color)
(I think printers give out different colors from what is displayed on the screen, computers normally give basically the same colors.)

'cause is a shortened oral form of because, we can find it in songs or in reported conversation, not normally in a written statement.
