    NAK. Please there's no reason to cause rebase hell over a spelling issue. Would be more accepting if it wasn't changing 97 lines across 48 files.

    NACK. I don't like the idea to be the first ones to impose Oxford Dictionary's view onto developers et al. (relevant xkcd). Unless there is a consistent trend observed across publications and online resources, we should just leave it as is and fix it when it's clear what to use.

    NACK. "block" and "chain" are also in the dictionary.
