Spelling #38

Open ehuss opened 6 months ago

Should there be a policy to use American or British English spelling (or other similar style differences)? Some parts of the Rust project have standardized on American spelling. The ISO house style is Oxford (British).

Or just leave it up to the author? I can predict that being inconsistent will annoy or confuse some people.

Should there be tooling to validate spelling?

ehuss's preference: I think spell check tooling would be great, but most of the tools I have used have been underwhelming.

This could be something the editor just makes a pass through for consistency. I am partial to American English to start. If we start making translations, we can consider British and other languages.
