Although non-US readers may find it difficult to have to type US spelling. For example, if your documentation tells a reader who's used to spelling `colour` to type `color`, they may mistype it. So when you use filenames or data parameters in examples, do your best to avoid words that are spelled differently by different groups of English speakers.
Avoid regional idiomatic phrases as well. For example, a common saying amongst English speakers in India is "do the needful," but this phrase may be unrecognizable to English speakers from other regions.
