Standardize on American spellings.

Browse Source 
Full internationalization would be much cooler, but that's never going
to happen.  Given that, this will at least prevent folks from constantly
having to look and switch between typing "armor" and "armour", depending
on which zone each item originated in, etc.

I could flip these either way, but a survey of the current state shows
that about 80% of the mixed cases use the American spellings, while 20%
use the British.  And, most words *only* exist in this data in their
American forms.  So, it seems the majority prefer these spellings.

In case anyone likes trivia:
* The most common mixed words in here were "armour" and "colour", each of
  which occured about half as often as "armor" and "color", respectively.
* The most British word in here was "theatre" (including other forms),
  which occured about twice as often as "theater".

This stanardizes all of these (and other forms of these same words):
* armour -> armor
* colour -> color
* favour -> favor
* honour -> honor
* civilise -> civilize
* centre -> center
* theatre -> theater
* defence -> defense
* offence -> offense
* realise -> realize

The arena below you is empty right now, but from the shouting of the
crowd you expect the games are about to begin. The crowd that seems to
be more of a mob than anything else is growing impatient.

The amphitheater is a microcosm of Roman society. The seating

momentarily, the mob. The few survivors retire to get their laurel crowns,
their bags of gold and to anticipate the adulation of Rome. Squads of
little men run into the arena with ropes and metal hooks to drag the bodies of the

dead and wounded to a mortuary cell where valuable weapons and armor are
retrieved and sorted out. The gasping, bleeding, groaning and wounded are
finished off. The bodies are then piled into carts to be taken and flung
into a nameless common grave.
