created: 20141226192500000 title: Spelling tags: documenting Because ~TiddlyWiki is of British origin, its English documentation uses [[British spelling in preference to US spelling|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences]]. Words like "customise" are spelled "-ise", not "-ize". Standard technical acronyms are written in upper case, without dots: `HTML`, not `html` or `H.T.M.L.` Avoid arbitrarily abbreviating words and sentences. But the following abbreviations are acceptable: |!Abbreviation |!Meaning |!Notes | |e.g. |for example |with a dot after each letter | |i.e. |that is to say |with a dot after each letter | |etc |and so on |without a dot |
