Regarding British punctuation
I would appreciate some further discussion and comments on this. My initial reply was:

"The rule about British punctuation was introduced fairly late and it seems no one went back and changed it in articles already written. I’m definitely in favour of British punctuation though, it makes more sense than American.

I also wasn’t aware of this issue until now and I don’t think the fact that a lot of articles fail to abide by this rule should count against it in this discussion. You can’t fix a problem you’re unaware of but now that I know about it I’m quite willing and able to amend it throughout the wiki. But I’m holding off on doing so for now until the matter has been discussed."

And I still stand by this but my hands are tied until we get some actual discussion on this, even if said discussion is just everyone going "Yepp, British punctuation sure is better".

So please, share your opinions.
