Decide on a standard English style guide so we can quit making one up ad-hoc in individual issues

Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

Thanks!

Since there has been no follow up in 3+ months going to close out, but don't worry we can always re-open!

Thanks all

For what it's worth, the original issue was filed under somewhat mistaken premises. We do (and already did at the time) have American English with the Chicago Manual of Style as our content standard for Drupal.org, and we also apply it to core's default translation and code docs as a best practice.

So "can not" is basically always a second-language speaker or someone from the Commonwealth. ;)

Retitling this issue to its actual scope, which was far less sweeping than the title indicated.
