So what? I just don't see consistency as being a value in itself, but
only when it has some other merit. Clearly you don't agree, but I am

While nothing is ever really official around here, the documentation is
susceptible to being hit by my spell-checking tool, which has
historically tended to use whatever "american" aspell dictionary I had
installed at the time.

I can heartily recommend this, and I have deferred to this many times
over the years.

I disagree with the point on "Avoid redundant phrases", though, and in
fact it contradicts error message style guideline 43.3.9., so it's
explicit.

I could submit a version with randomi[sz]ed spellings if it would
make certain people happier ;-)
