Feel free to ignore this pull request if you want to, although it might be a useful addition to this page. I use NZ English normally, which is closer to UK English than to US English, but I still get confused between the two sometimes, having spent so long around the (predominately American) Internet.

title: Spelling
|
|
tags: [[Improving TiddlyWiki Documentation]]
|
|
|
|
Because ~TiddlyWiki is of British origin, its English documentation uses [[British spelling in preference to US spelling|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences]].
|
|
|
|
Words like <<.word customise>> are spelled <<.word -ise>>, not <<.word -ize>>. Words like <<.word colour>> will also be spelled using UK English unless they are being used for reserved words in code, such as in CSS or JavaScript.
|
|
|
|
Standard technical acronyms are written in upper case, without dots: <<.word HTML>>, not <<.word html>> or <<.word H.T.M.L.>>
|
|
|
|
Avoid arbitrarily abbreviating words and sentences. But the following abbreviations are acceptable:
|
|
|
|
|!Abbreviation |!Meaning |!Notes |
|
|
|e.g. |for example |with a dot after each letter |
|
|
|i.e. |that is to say |with a dot after each letter |
|
|
|etc |and so on |without a dot |
