Re "behavior" vs "behaviour", etc.
|
|
|
|
- GNU Emacs originated in the US.
|
|
|
|
- If there is a choice between US vs UK spelling for a word
|
|
for new text (code, docs), choose the US variant.
|
|
|
|
- It's probably (IMHO --ttn, 2017-10-13) not a high priority to
|
|
change existing text; use your best judgment (ask if unsure).
|
|
|
|
- The admin/run-codespell script treats many non-US spellings as
|
|
typos and fixes them. It does not consider Lisp symbols.
|
|
|
|
- Consider renaming especially commands and user options for
|
|
consistency. Leave obsolete aliases, as always.

|
|
|
|
- In comments, docstrings and other documentation that forms part of
|
|
Emacs itself, prefer not to abbreviate "Emacs Lisp".
|
|
Say just "Lisp" whenever the context allows.
|
|
If you must abbreviate "Emacs Lisp", capitalize it thus: "Elisp".
