  • We already do though, one's color is another's colour and one's spelled is another's spelt

    Those would be kuler and spelt in my dialect and writing system

  • Haskell has the choice of both indentation based and brackets for things like do blocks, but most people use indentation based cause it's the norm and looks cleaner

    Scots is hard to tell from English sometimes because Scots has undergone near language death, where it adopted more and more features from English as it was taken over, and Scots was regarded for a decent while as nothing but bad English

  • Was it Scottish English or Scots? The line between the two is blurry because intelligibility varies a lot
