 Whenever the guest clock is behind the host clock and if

 Currently this option does not work when @option{shift} is @code{auto}.
 Note: The sync algorithm will work for those shift values for which

Is there any consensus on whether we should prefer US spelling
(synchronize) over UK spelling in our user-facing text?
