As a native English speaker who works in two Francophone countries for an international organisation, I would suggest tolerance in this area.
Where there are sufficient language difficulties that the blueprint is difficult to read and understand, this should be a -1. Where someone accidentally uses a wrong spelling such as 'flavor' rather than 'flavour' or 'contextualization' rather than 'contextualisation', some tolerance should be shown in the interest of a world wide community.

I do, yes. These documents are intended to be read by deployers and future developers. I think it's really important that they're useful in that regard. > This is really a bad news for non-native speaker like me because I'm > really not sensitive to the spelling even after checking again and > again. Well, I certainly understand it can be frustrating. When I do it, I provide the proper spelling in my comment, and I think I've been generally pretty responsive to re-reviewing things quickly when it was just a spelling error. Usually, however, there is something else to go wrong with the -1 so it needs to be respun anyway. --Dan _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
