			== British/American spellings revisited ==

			While consistency is nice, the ideal policy is as follows:

			1. Both British and American spellings are allowed on the CWCki, with authors allowed to choose based on their dialect or preference, as long as the intended meaning is comprehensible by Americans, British people, ''and'' most other fluent English speakers.

			2. Changing spellings from British to American (and vice versa) is allowed, but edit warring and passive-aggressive comments should not be.

			3. Chris is an American but began using some British spellings in 2014. The majority of trolls are American, but a sizable minority are from the rest of the world.
