Which variety of English should we use?

Eishtmo:
I speak only English and bad English, and I'm not very good at either of them.

Let's just avoid broken English, and the world will be a better place.

You're joking...right? :nervous:

I say, use the American spelling for Maneuverability, everything else can be whatever. Although keep in mind that Americans tend to be less aware of the British spelling of words than vice versa. :p

Kamikaze:
Just keep it consistent within a given article.

Best solution. :nod:

Whoever creates (or heavily rewrites) an article is going to write it in his particular dialect of English.  So let's just say that whoever creates an article determines the spelling it will use.

Nuclear1:
British English really isn't that different to tell apart from American English anyways. Slang is really where it gets tricky, so as long as we don't have any articles describing the Aeshma as minging or the Colossus' captain as a wanker than I think we have ourselves a winner.
