Personally, I prefer British-English whenever I write anything in
non-Danish. However, when I'm working on a paper where the first author
prefers American-English, I ignore my own personal preference in the
name of consistency. I think consistency is quite important, so while I
prefer the British spellings I do think they should be changed to
American spellings :-(
