Yes, many of the core dev team are looking forward to replacing:

* color -> colour
* hilite -> highlight
* gray -> grey
* program -> programme

Spelling these keywords properly will be an important step forward in 
ensuring accessibility and comprehensibility for the LiveCode scripting 
language. It will greatly reduce the number of bugs and regressions in 
our releases, thanks to reducing the core team developers' typo rate.
