English-speaker, when you name things in your Python programs, you had
better stick to American spellings.

Even more important, when you talk about Python or other computer stuff
to a non-English-speaker, try to emulate the accent most people around
the world are most familiar with, American English. If you find that
overwhelming, try to speak like a BBC newsreader. Your native accent can
be very difficult to understand.
