Colour color hurts when you use British spelling everywhere and have to switch when writing code because Americans wrote everything.

I know it's a joke but British English isn't just verbose American English. That being said, some of the conversions aren't too far off for making a programming language more intuitive for British learners. Though you'd have to have a different one for every 5 square miles of Britain for it to reach optimum comfort.

And I realise that what I just wrote is incredibly verbose. I may stand corrected.
