 Per the [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/spelling/
 spelling guidelines], American English should be preferred in Core.

 There are a few other occurrences of `-ise` vs. `-ize` and `-or` vs.
 `-our` that we should correct all at once.

 For example:
 - colour vs. color
 - organise vs. organize
 - behaviour vs. behavior
