As a British speaker, I often unwittingly write words like "unrecognised" in Perl code, only to later find that we standardised ^W standardized on US English spelling, and have to fix it. (case in point: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/23985) I'm sure I'm not the only person, nor is this the only problematic word. For example, I'm forever having to remember if we prefer "compiletime" or "compile-time". The list goes on... I'm considering making a new t/porting/ test to remind me (and others) about such things. Do we have anything current to do this, or would I be best placed to add a new one? I expect initially at least it would need a big long list of exceptions - problems in existing docs, that we'd gradually tidy up as we go. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans [email protected] http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS
