Me, not being a native speaker, I tend to use color, behaviour,
center, and "-ize" endings (they're closer to Spanish; the "-ise" ones
look like a typo to my alien's eyes :). I have no preference for
"elevator" vs "lift", "subway" vs "underground"...

And of course I write "jail" unless I'm thinking of "The Ballad of
Reading Gaol"...

But anyway, the Emacs sources seem to be heavily "standardized"
towards one spelling, and I want to know if it's OK to fix a few
remaining non-standard spellings in docs. Color me OC :-)
