Obviously, we must now task someone in CODE4LIB with writing a Python script to convert New Zealand English to International English.
Yes, because tasking people with AI-complete programming tasks (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI-complete ) is only slightly worse than systematically malfunctioning sarcasm filters.
