Right, so this is a way to bend the world to your will.
The reason css properties have a standardized spelling is not to make fun of british spelling, but to have a standard that everyone could follow for interopabilitys sake.
If youre such a british language purist that you go this route, you will need to port/retrofit this hack to your future projects or you will once more have to debug why ”colour” doesnt do anything in your css declaration.
This is anti progression and a non-solution.
In addition, running this hack on the client side (really, why??) has additional downsides as color wont render right until after page load.
A solution for this non-issue would be scss preprocessor variable, something like this:
$colour = ”color”
table {
$colour: red;
}
TLDR: css is a standard, so learn it and work with it, not against it.
It's just a bit of fun, it's not meant to be taken seriously. On the other hand, R supports both British and American spellings, and I've never seen anyone confused by it.
