Careful, your bias is showing.  s/also sometimes/more properly/

You'll be wanting us to use US spelling next, because more people speak US
English... ;^)  Is this about how things *are* or how they *should be*?  I
think there's a fine line to tread here between educating and accepting the
status quo.  If we just accept the status quo, we might as well produce
marketing material for proprietary companies...
