While both American and British English are valid, establishing a single standard improves consistency, readability, and maintainability of the codebase.

## Decision

The Gradle project adopts **American English** as the standard language variant for all code, comments, documentation, user-facing messages, and written communication.

### Examples

What would have happened if Gradle was limited to _only Java 11_ at the time?

## Decision

1. The Gradle distribution will never include a Java runtime.
   Instead, Gradle will leverage Java toolchains for the Daemon and worker processes.

	// VersionPurgeStatuses holds the internal
	VersionPurgeStatuses string `xml:"VersionPurgeStatuses"`
	// ReplicateDecisionStr stringified representation of replication decision
	ReplicateDecisionStr string `xml:"-"`
}

// createBucketLocationConfiguration container for bucket configuration request from client.
// Used for parsing the location from the request body for Makebucket.

After filing a report, a representative from the Square Code of Conduct committee will contact you
personally. The committee will then review the incident, follow up with any additional questions,
and make a decision as to how to respond.

Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately. If an individual
engages in unacceptable behavior, the Square Code of Conduct committee may take any action they deem
