On one mid-Atlantic suggestion;
“Behaviour” -> “behavior”
I have wrestled with this problem for decades, having been born in the UK and worked for a USA company (and married a USA citizen ).
IEEE Standards expect USA spelling. The rest of the world-- including ISO Standards -- expects international (British) spelling. I chose (and still choose) 'mid-Atlantic' spelling, where it makes sense. "Hue" rather than "Colour", etc.
There are plenty of alternative words to 'behavio[u]r'. Just change to one of the alternatives that neither riles one community nor the other.
