Note from the teaching team: This bug was reported during the Part II (Evaluating Documents) stage of the PE. You may reject this bug if it is not related to the quality of documentation.


Minor issue, but given that your target audience are Singaporeans, perhaps using British English spelling would be more appropriate given that most of your users will be Singaporeans and are more accustomed to that form of spelling.

Team's Response

As the target audience is event planners in Singapore, it does not affect their reading ability to identify American spelt words and hence the user guide still works as intended. Furthermore, there can be event planners who are expats in Singapore who may prefer American spelling, hence it makes sense to use American spelling to cater to both sides
