Thanks for putting it in, Martin! I do my best to not impose American English, but sometimes I just don't realize. I actually have adopted several non-American rules because I find them more logical. For example, I like to put punctuation outside of quotes, such as "this is a quote", where for some reason in American English it is preferred to put it as "this is a quote." Thanks for taking the time to review the patch and commit it.
