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

At the edge of a pit~
You find yourself in a large domed chamber, at the edge of a 2' wide hole in
the floor of the room. Muck is dripping over the edge, and the smell is
horrible. As you go closer to the edge and take a peek, you realise there is a
horrible. As you go closer to the edge and take a peek, you realize there is a
drop of about 20', before the bottom is reached. Not caring to try if you can
climb down, you also notice a ladder carved into the wall of the hole. As you
examine the hole closer you see a grate further down.

By the hole~
You enter a small room, with a ledge along the walls. Near the middle of the
room a large hole has been eroded by the running water. You realise that
