behaviour    => behavior
organisation => organization

You seem to have lots of time on your hands if you can worry about this. How you spend it is your business, of course, but playing spelling cop doesn't seem worth it to me.

Is there an official spelling standard for PostgreSQL? If so, where is it stated? If we are going to adopt one I'd vote for the OED :-) I am so unconscious of it that it will be impossible for me to undo the habits of a lifetime, and I suspect I am not alone, so this would be a never ending battle.
