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
Since circle/tba is not case-sensitive, this should be a non-change.
I confirmed this by verifying that `diff -i` shows zero changes.
So, to tba, this is just a cosmetic cleanup.
However, to others that use this data, the case might be important.
...this includes my own separate MUD codebase. :)
This just converts the few DOS text files still in here to standard text files (line-endings),
removes all the trailing spaces on lines, removes all the trailing blank lines, and replaces
all the tabs (except in .zon files, where they seem to be common) with expanded spaces.
It's easy to confirm this is actually a non-change, except for whitespace:
* `git show -w` shows this commit as only removing 8 trailing blank lines.
This should make no difference to tbaMUD itself, but it will make working on these files,
especially with scripts and automated tools, much easier.
This is the base change for a set of other changes I will put up once/if this merges,
without this, the others are just too complicated to wrangle.
