I suddenly remembered that time when I was a junior, faced an issue in the code. I assign a parameter for a method for background-colour, where I have to declare a Colour value with the hexcode, then I got an error thrown at me. That's says Colour(); not found something something.

Took me one hour to realise most programming languages are American. Should be Color() not Colour()

Facepalm. That day I thought to me self, how stupid can I get in a day.

    Yeah, I still have this problem from time to time. My brain just sometimes switches into Bri'ish mode and I start writing "colour" and "neighbour" and stuff...

    English is not my native language and when I was a kid just starting with programming this difference actually made me think that I'm crazy and I could never understand where I learned "colour" when it always results in a syntax error, took me a few years to finally realize that I learned British english at school xD

    I never know if it is grey or gray. Fortunately css swallows both.

    To be fair: colour seems classier.

    I write it that way. I live in Texas. Shit like that will cause Mexican standoffs.

    Wow, I'm a junior and working on a frontend project now. You saved me from this in advance, thanks.
