I am obsessively pedantic about grammar and spelling, in code and in English. I have a firm personal preference about how to spell "cancelled"--I like two Ls.

The only reason I'd ever consider telling someone that "canceled" is wrong is if the other spelling was firmly established in the actual codebase. Not in comments. And absolutely not with the ridiculous claim that the language you're coding in has opinions about how to spell your comments.
