I see the UK'ish "initialise" as well as the US'ish "initialization" within the same close to each other. Cheers, L. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

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. -- ~Randy ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

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? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I would say the fewer "trivial" changes, the better, so don't change them if they are correct in either spelling. -- ~Randy ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
