Spelling

Because TiddlyWiki is of British origin, its English documentation uses British spelling in preference to US spelling.

Words like "customise" are spelled "-ise", not "-ize". Words like "colour" will also be spelled using UK English unless they are being used for reserved words in code, such as in CSS or JavaScript.

Standard technical acronyms are written in upper case, without dots: "HTML", not "html" or "H.T.M.L."

Avoid arbitrarily abbreviating words and sentences. But the following abbreviations are acceptable:

e.g.for examplewith a dot after each letter
