While browsing the docs in search of general spelling errors, I |
| 2 |
noticed that a few documents had internationalized spelling of certain |
| 3 |
words. Are the docs generally supposed to be written in American |
| 4 |
English--as most of the English ones seem to be--or is that |
| 5 |
unimportant? I have no particular preference either way; the addition |
| 6 |
or subtraction of a few letters from the odd word doesn't bother me. I |
| 7 |
was just wondering if doc writers are supposed to adhere to one |
| 8 |
consistent spelling scheme even though it might be outside of their |
| 9 |
region. |

For example, do the doc writers from the UK have to spell using |
| 12 |
American English (or Australian English), even though it's not what |
| 13 |
they're familiar with, or are the guidelines much more relaxed and |
| 14 |
permit one's native lexicon to be used? |
