I still don't understand why #ClaudeCode mixes American and British spelling constantly, it irritates me as hell.

@menelion It wasn't taught the difference?

@kev Nope, it started in Opus 4.6, and it leans British constantly, although I tell it to go American.

My best guess is that it doesn't differentiate between them in training sets and simply sees the spellings as variants of the same responses.

@serge But it all began in Opus 4.6 or 4.7, before it was great.

@menelion Welcome to Kanada! :-)
Happens constantly in real life. And not only spelling.
Metric and Imperial and USA units which look like Imperial, but only in the name - the quantities vary. Sometimes...

@gemlog I always thought you spelled (I mean, spelt) British/Common Wealth. colour, customise, behaviour, all this stuff.
