Does anyone (apart from yourself) actually CARE how RP spells colo[u]r?

Is it worth the extra bloat to personalize a few error messages?  I
figured anyone WANTING to use RP would probably have sufficient English
competency.

If it's merely a question of æsthetics, then by all means. Just that
given ratpoison's Spartan design principles, we should only include what
we really NEED in the core.
