You want to use "colour" instead of "color"? Also not a problem, and should be easy enough for someone to understand who normally spells it the other way.
It's not a matter of failing to understand, it's about having more than one spelling of an identifier around imposing an extra cognitive burden. PEP 8 recommends against abbreviating identifiers because it's hard to remember which abbreviation is being used in any given context. Multiple alternative spellings have a similar effect. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
