====Usage notes====
* '''Favor''' is the standard US spelling, and an alternative in Canada. '''Favour''' is the standard spelling in Canada and outside North America.
* English speakers usually "'''do''' someone a favor" (rather than *"'''make''' them a favor", which would be sense 3 only). See [[Appendix:Collocations of do, have, make, and take]] for uses and meaning of '''favor''' collocated with these words.
