Just like Wikipedia, we shouldn't edit just to make words conform to certain localized/localised standards. While I prefer to spell it "favourite", it's not nice to change someone else's spelling. It weirds them out. They're like, "I thought I spelled it right! That's how I've been spelling it for years! Oh, all my teachers were wrong! I'm going to go jump off a bridge now!" and then they try, but they can't get out of the building because the power's out and the elevator/lift isn't working and they have no flashlight/torch to light the way, so they just sit there, spelling things the American way and feeling dumb!!!
Wait, what the hell was I talking about?!
