# ADR-0009 - Use American English

## Status

- ACCEPTED on 2025-11-24

## Context

Gradle is an international open-source project with contributors from around the world. English is the primary language for code, comments, documentation, and communication, but there are variations in English spelling and terminology, specifically American English vs. British English.

Inconsistency in spelling conventions can lead to several issues:

# ADR-0001 - Use Architectural Decision Records

## Status

- ACCEPTED on 2023-12-01

## Context

In a distributed team with many subteams, the best solution to communicate decisions is to use a format accessible by everyone in charge of development.

We use *Specification* and *Discovery* documents stored in Google Drive, but they present some downsides:

0.591 responseHeadersStart
0.675 responseHeadersEnd
0.676 responseBodyStart
0.679 responseBodyEnd
0.679 connectionReleased
0.680 callEnd
REQUEST 2 (pooled connection)
0.000 callStart
0.001 connectionAcquired
0.001 requestHeadersStart
0.001 requestHeadersEnd
0.002 responseHeadersStart
0.082 responseHeadersEnd
0.082 responseBodyStart
0.082 responseBodyEnd
0.083 connectionReleased
0.083 callEnd
```
