| This page documents the spelling choices that the Go project has made for English words. |
| This page is a statement of policy. Do not edit it without approval/discussion. |
| * American spellings over British spellings |
| * **iff** means "if or only iff" (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/iff), but we don't use it in public-facing docs (not if it'd show up in exported identifiers in godoc) |
| * avoid Latin abbreviations in godoc |
| * use **cancellation** (two ells), not cancelation. See https://golang.org/cl/170060 |
| * use **canceled** (one ell), not cancelled. |
| * use **canceling** (one ell), not cancelling. |
| * use **marshaling**, **marshaled** etc (single ell). See https://golang.org/cl/33017 |
