Use British English spelling: "visualise" instead of "visualize" and "colours" instead of "colors". The codebase consistently uses British spelling, as seen in the module name visualise.py.

Updated spelling of 'visualize' to 'visualise' and added note on British English usage.

NB Throughout we use British english except for the word color, this is important to remember.

This guideline about using American spelling for "color" is misleading and contradicts the established British English convention. The exception for "color" should only apply when using matplotlib API parameters and variable names (like 'facecolor', 'colors') in code, not in general documentation or comments. Consider clarifying that British spelling should be used in documentation and comments, with exceptions only for API compatibility in code.

NB Throughout we use British English in documentation and comments. Use "color" only when required for API compatibility in code (e.g. matplotlib keyword arguments such as `facecolor`, `colors`).

The word "english" should be capitalized to "English" as it refers to the English language.

The word "colors" should use British spelling "colours" in documentation. While the codebase uses American spelling "color" when interfacing with matplotlib's API (e.g., 'facecolor', 'colors' as variable names), documentation prose should follow the British English convention established in this repository.
