I've just checked the Shorter Oxford Dictionary (this is a 2-volume 
English dictionary, mine is somewhat old). It doesn't contain Computor or 
Weldor at all. A 'Welder' is one who welds, a Computer is a person who 
calculates. 

US usage may well be different (in fact the usage may have changed in 
England since my dictionary was published, but I don't think it has).
