cspell's bundled en_US dictionary accepts British spellings (colour, behaviour, organise, ...) even with language en-US. Add a flagWords list covering the common -our/-ise/-yse/-re/-ce families so they are reported as forbidden words with the American spelling offered as a fix, plus ignore entries for upstream-spelled exceptions (PatternFly pf-m-grey, lit-analyse, analyse-phase). MERGE LAST: failFast is on, so this rule must land only after the docs/backend/frontend cleanup PRs have merged, otherwise CI fails on pre-existing British spellings.
