British spelling of words vs US spelling

[nschonni]

Wondering if words like:

• organise
• behaviour
• neighbour
• colour
• ...

As a Canadian these spellings make sense, but since the local is indicated as en-US, should the be changed to the US spelling?

Yes, they should.

[hamishwillee]

Yes, they should.

Boo. Hiss.

[chrisdavidmills]

Yes, they should.

I don't make the rules. I just enforce them ;-)

(Disclaimer, for those who don't know: I'm a Brit...)

[hamishwillee]

Ha, just following orders eh?

I'm going to close this as "answered".

[nschonni]

Fair enough, I was going to leave it open till there had been PRs for the various words, but that can be done either way

[hamishwillee]

Also fair enough @nschonni - feel free to reopen!

[nschonni]

I can't re-open something a maintainer closes 😉

[Ryuno-Ki]

Bummer!
I really do love the British spelling.

(And be it to remind US people, that there are more people on the world than them :-D)

organise
behaviour
neighbour
colour

The examples above do not appear in mdn/content except inside code, some nss release notes, or in style guides. Is there more to fix as part of this?

[hamishwillee]

Thanks @himanshugarg Good point.

We need mechanisms to stop them creeping back over time (added as a question to #10787). But yes, if they are fixed now we should close this.
