…after 7 years or so of trying to name my variables Colour instead of Color I just gave up and switched to using the American version. It’s just too confusing to have 2 different versions of the same word all over the code and most programmers seem to believe that it should be spelled color these days any way. It seems kind of stupid that I should be fussy about spelling in this instance when pretty much no one else will ever see it whilst my general standard is so slap-dash but still I feel slightly defeated by the whole thing.
