Hi,
which spelling is preferred for the documentation when sending patches?
I see the UK'ish "initialise" as well as the US'ish "initialization"
within the same close to each other.
Cheers, L.

We accept either UK or US spellings.
It would be nice to be consistent within one document, but about all
that we can count on is for one person to be consistent most of the
time.

Thanks Randy!
So, does that mean if I fix grammar or typo issues in a file, I should
also fix the UK'ish terms by replacing them with the US'ish when both
types are occurring?

I would say the fewer "trivial" changes, the better, so don't change them
if they are correct in either spelling.
