Re "behavior" vs "behaviour", etc. - GNU Emacs originated in the US. - If there is a choice between US vs UK spelling for a word for new text (code, docs), choose the US variant. - It's probably (IMHO --ttn, 2017-10-13) not a high priority to change existing text; use your best judgement (ask if unsure). - https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2005-06/msg00489.html
