We actually have more instances of "email" in core than "e-mail," but we use the latter more prominently -- see General Settings for example. "website" and "URL" are also preferred. For spelling, we use American English -- so behavior, not behaviour, and license not licence. It would be good to create a small standard eventually. We'd rather not change dozens of strings for minor spelling/style variations so late in the development cycle -- this is something we'd do early on, say in 3.1. Only actual spelling mistakes, I'd say.
