I'm forever forgetting to use the American spellings for centre and
neighbour in Sage.

There is one case where I think the use of Americanisms means Sage is
simply wrong: the use of 'meter' for 'metre' in the units module.  I'm
all in favour of preserving local dialects, but the official SI
documents use 'metre', and it seems needlessly contrary on the part of
our Yankee friends to come up with variant spellings *for a
deliberately standard unit system*.
