Yes, many of the core dev team are looking forward to replacing:
* color -> colour
* hilite -> highlight
* gray -> grey
* program -> programme
Spelling these keywords properly will be an important step forward in
ensuring accessibility and comprehensibility for the LiveCode
scripting language. It will greatly reduce the number of bugs and
regressions in our releases, thanks to reducing the core team
developers' typo rate.

Ha, Ha: I take that is meant to be a joke: if non-American programmers
cannot put up with the odd spot of American spelling
one wonders how they'll manage anything else: that should be the very
least of anyone's worries.
