Most GNU programs tend to standardize (or is it standardise) on American
English instead of British English. Nothing against the British (my wife
is from the UK), but consistency with other GNU programs such as coreutils
and gcc might argue that UK contributors put up with us brash Americans on
our choice of spellings. :) But I didn't see anything in the GNU Coding
Standards that made this sentiment a requirement.
