Much as I (as a native speaker of British English) would like "color" in CSS to be spelled "colour", there is not a cat's chance in hell of changing it now. But is there any deep reason (as opposed to superficial) why "colour" could not be introduced as a synonym ? And no, I'm not going to ask for "fount" as a synonym for "font", so you needn't think that this is just the thin end of the wedge :-) Philip TAYLOR -------- Ambrose Li wrote: > But would Google hits be meaningful at all without first filtering out > all words spelt "color" that is code (whether it's program code or > markup)? > It seems that most, if not all, programming languages are using the > American spelling, so unless we filter out everything that is code, > Google will always find the American spelling "more common".
