I think slight variations don't really detract from the value of the
product, and consider the odd variation a reminder of the diversity of
the project. I don't suggest that we purposefully introduce spelling
variations, or that we refrain from fixing ones that appear in code
we're changing, but I don't see the point in changing a line for the
sole reason of standardising the spelling of a word.
That said, I'm not a native English speaker.
