Language

English speaking community
Both the PARPG community and the PARPG development team speak/type English. To keep things manageable, please only use other languages in private conversations.

American English spelling
We should stick to the American English spelling variant.
 * Because PARPG has three developers form the USA and none from other English speaking countries.
 * Because American English is most commonly used.

Where it matters
It's not important which dialect you use on IRC or on the forums.

Spelling does matter for all written in-game content, the wiki, and the code.

Adapting existing work
Sticking to a standard implies reworking old content. We have to adapt the three resources above.

Taldor is prepared to adapt the existing code where necessary.

PARPG slang
slang is one of the features that makes a game come alive. For a good example, see PlaneScape: Torment.
