how you doin' mate

I actually see a growing annoyance with our British teams contributing to a large existing code base. They use variable names like "BackColour" where "BackColor" is used in in existing code. It makes it easier to miss things when doing a code search.

Canada is also that spelling.

We always have those arguments in the team... almost daily even

As an Australian I can relate.
I now always write "color" and people think I'm an idiot

As an American, I'm annoyed by it. It should be "foreground".

Yes it irritates a lot of us non-Americans

Color, colour, I doun't caure, although colour loouks weiurd tou meu.

I'm only annoyed by inconsistencies.

We could switch to front-flurp and back-flurp for all I care, as long as it's the same everywhere.

Maybe we should ask W3C to switch HTML/CSS to use properties in Esperanto by default. Nice and regular.

fono-koloro

malfono-koloro

tiparo-speco

tiparo-grandeco

limo: 1px solida purpuro

aperigi: fleksi

aperigi: neniu

That way, everyone would be equally annoyed and confused.

Phh betcha you all have never worked in a trilingual team where people flex on each other by putting variable and art names in other languages outside our usual Spanish/Portuguese/English mix.

>why did you name the argument klasse? >Because class is a reserved word and using class_ looks ugly.

I use 'color' happily and just say I'm using the latin spelling.

I'm British and I don't mine color. However "initialize" boils my piss.

@LMagnus how the fuck do you spell initialize? 🤨

I could google it, but I’m attempting social interaction

@LMagnus is it the z?

@KimberlyTheGeek initialise.

@monkeyboy yep. Same with organisation, containerisation etc

@LMagnus ahhhhh, doh. The z’s and s’s
