Standardize on "cancelled".
QuLogic: so, canceled or cancelled? that patch on #12130 is pretty
thorough...
wabz: cancelled :D
wabz: that cancelled thing actually bothered me in the past
wabz: never quite enough to do such a patch :p
elb: that's an en_US vs en_GB thing
elb: both are correct, but canceled is more common in en_{US,CA} and
cancelled in en_{GB,AU,NZ,etc.}
elb: personally, I use cancelled
QuLogic: yea, that's what I went for before, but I think I couldn't change
any strings because we were frozen
QuLogic: you all had to pick the spelling that was opposite from the guy's
patch, didn't you...
rekkanoryo: well, considering we're generally en_US in our strings, it
should be canceled in our source
elb: considering they're both correct, and while I'm anal retentive, I'm
not anal retentive about that, I have no preference ;-)
rekkanoryo: I don't really care either way, I just think that we should be
consistently en_US or en_GB throughout
elb: right
elb: my point is, they're both correct for en_US
elb: one 'l' is simply more common
rekkanoryo: ah
rekkanoryo: if they're both technically correct for en_US, then
"cancelled" is my vote
rekkanoryo: one 'l' always looks wrong to me
elb: the dictionary claims they are
Sorry, dwc.
Closes #12130.
