(yes i know some other countries also use british spellings)

This was done for a couple of reasons after a discussion about this on the discord:

  1. It can be confusing for people who do not understand this variant of english.
  2. Most programming languages use US english for spelling.
  3. Most of Roblox's playerbase is american and not everyone knows british spellings...
    e.g. people might know what center means but not centre

America moment. Like fuck me. An IQ of a lipstick. If someone can't identify what is essentially a 1 letter typo from the original, single meaning word, then may the lord have mercy on us all.

Change it if you want. I'm confident in the UK playerbase of all ages being able to understand this slight mistake/inconsistency.

More or less. It's not a huge deal but generally American spellings should be used. I don't super care that much though and it's not going to stop a merge if one word uses the UK spelling, just in general try to avoid it if for no other reason than the majority of the user base being American.
