I think it is much more important to fix bugs and to add new functionality to Sage.
Regarding consistency: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" -- Ralph Waldo Emerson "Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are the dead." – Huxley. 'Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative': O. Wilde Regarding your first sentence: do you really think that clarity is somehow sacrificed by using "maths" instead of "math"? I am very dubious. Finally, there is virtue in recognizing that Sage is supported by a world-wide network of contributors, and people speak different languages around the world (BTW: we welcome translations of Sage documentation to more languages!). Even among those of us that speak English, there are variations in how we speak it. Recognizing and supporting this is valuable, just as is encouraging all other types of diversity in Sage, in mathematics, in life.
