My understanding was that, in general, either was appropriate. From
time to time, we have had arguments about grammar. But if US
spelling is to be enforced across the books, then I will devote less
time to LFS and BLFS.

I'd love have both spelling variants being valid, too. While I fully
accept American spelling, it comes as a slight insult for Europeans and
probably even more so for British people to have their contributions
"corrected" to the American spelling. Just yesterday, I talked to a British
journalist about that who quit his job in London because his new U.S.
editor started "fixing" his spelling.
Otoh, I've no idea how significant the contributions to the book are
from people outside the U.S. nowadays, and I also don't know what spelling
is taught in the rest of the world apart from Europe.
Kind regards

I think most were mispellings in either dialect. I can always check the
spelling and leave it as is if it is valid in either.
I'm not looking to start some battle that is not worth anyone's energy.
Can we just keep going as is and I will not change anything as long as it
spelled correctly in either English?
Definitely what I personally would like. And thanks a lot for all your
labour, anyway!
