Re "behavior" vs "behaviour", etc.

- GNU Emacs originated in the US.

- If there is a choice between US vs UK spelling for a word
  for new text (code, docs), choose the US variant.

- It's probably (IMHO --ttn, 2017-10-13) not a high priority to
  change existing text; use your best judgment (ask if unsure).

- The admin/run-codespell script treats many non-US spellings as
  typos and fixes them.  It does not consider Lisp symbols.

- Consider renaming especially commands and user options for
  consistency.  Leave obsolete aliases, as always.
