There are couple of spelling conflicts in WordPress mainly because<br>
WordPress doesn't have any known standards or guidelines (AFAIK) in<br>
spelling or writing terms. For example: email vs. e-mail, website vs.<br>
web site, url vs. URL.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I believe our current preference is e-mail, though email is more progressive and I imagine we'll gravitate to that soon. We actually have more instances of "email" in core than "e-mail," but we use the latter more prominently -- see General Settings for example.</div>
<div><br></div><div>"website" and "URL" are also preferred. For spelling, we use American English -- so behavior, not behaviour, and license not licence. It would be good to create a small standard eventually.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We'd rather not change dozens of strings for minor spelling/style variations so late in the development cycle -- this is something we'd do early on, say in 3.1. Only actual spelling mistakes, I'd say.</div>
