Coding standards at work calls for US English in our codebase. So I’m typing words like “color,” “initialize,” and “data center.” And it pains me. I know that’s irrational but, you know, I never claimed to be rational when it comes to things like this.
At least the spell-checker’s on my side.
@lmika It wouldn’t be so bad if it was just within the code itself, but we’ve got linters enforcing this over our comments as well, which is where I always get tripped up.
@lmika I mostly engage with American English writing people, but I have my keyboard language set to British English, and it’s a bit jarring. I also have the Norwegian keyboard, (and emoji). It pains me that when I switch between keyboards, (because I started writing on the wrong keyboard), and the spellcheck doesn’t update automatically for the already existing text. 😒
