    I honestly think we need to standardize language. English is the most widely spoken langauge in the world and (nearly) anyone can speak it so it’s a good contender. Most programming languages use English

    #include 
    
    int main(){
            printf("hello world!\n");
    
            return 0;
    }
    

    And honestly as much as it makes my heart cry to say this, American English is more efficient. After all it might be a one letter difference but why include “u” in color? If I remember correctly the “u” was dropped because adverts used to be payed per each character, and even today considering the usage of color tags in css it makes sense to drop the “u”. Even if it is a small difference in terms of size, it still makes writing faster and adds up
