Re: [csswg-drafts] Informal spellings in specifications (#5850)

FWIW the TAG has a writing style guide: https://github.com/w3ctag/process/blob/master/style-guide.md *

It's (currently) silent on the subject of neologisms (however cromulent they may be), but keeping in the spirit, the question should be "does this word make the document easier to understand or harder?" I accept the informal spellings make the document easier to *write*, but that's not what we should be optimizing for.

I'd like to hear from more non-native English speakers on this topic.

Also, pinging @alice for her input (the author of the TAG style guide).

* Note that at this point the guide is directed towards the TAG, and is not meant to be an authoritative style guide for all of W3C, it might be a good foundation for one tho...
