A long time ago I spent a large part of a year writing some woftware in Rexx [1] on an IBM 3090 mainframe. Rexx was designed by Mike Cowlishaw, who (like me) is British, and (from memory) the language included a few "Britishisms". For example it's keyword for selecting output text colour allowed "colour" as well as "color". It also used "say" to print text. Twenty year-old me was a little bemused.
