spelt colour wrong

My American brain is deeply troubled by the way the British spell certain words. Normally I can let it go but I know I’m going to get really confused with stuff like this:

sense.show_message("Stella is a bad cat.", text_colour=textColor, back_colour=backColor)

Is it possible to use localiZation to translate any common spelling differences in the api? Add aliases or something? Or will I just have to adapt to the queens english?

-AlmightyOatmeal I asked a question. I didn’t insult anyone or any nationality and if I did I surely didn’t mean to. Ignorant? Yes, well it WAS a question wasn’t it? Am I expected to know the answer to my own question?

You just went on a long angry rant insulting me and my country for no apparent reason, yet you call me rude?

I’m sure the issues section for the Sense hat API isn’t the place to vent your hostility. Even if you did somehow manage to weave an answer to my question into your string of insults.

Aoxo,

Aside from your rudeness and ignorance, you can make the changes yourself. Simply clone the repo, copy the sense_hat directory to your project’s directory, and make the edits you deem necessary. Because the module is in your projects base directory, your import of sense_hat will use your local copy before checking the other library paths.

Of course you could submit a pull request with your changes too so that other people who are offended by the British can benefit as well.

While you’re making the change from colour to color, would you mind creating an alias to tsvet? Russian is my native language (even though I have lived in the states for most of my life) and your American ignorance offends me so why not add an alias to satisfy my language requirements? Also, can you add farbe because my adoptive grandfather was German? And farge because my adoptive grandmother was Norwegian?

It’s only fair, right?

The easiest solution is to grow up but that is unfortunately difficult for some people to grasp.
