* Vocabulary from both BrE and AmE can be freely interused within the same article, which applies especially to terminology from different dialects that describes the same thing, for example: "Lorry" (BrE) and "Truck" (AmE), "Postbox" (BrE) and "Mailbox" (AmE), "Flat" (BrE) and "Apartment" (AmE), etc.

** In some cases interused terminology might be a desired stylistic approach to reduce repetition in the articles, giving them synonymous weight. However given a nature of more technical and formal style of writing the articles should follow, it should not be overused.

** The official games may prioritise specific vocabulary, which should be the default choice before introducing synonymous terminology from BrE or AmE, for example the game use word "Tenement" to describe a residential building, instead of "Block of flats" (BrE) or "Apartment Building" (AmE).

* A specific spelling of certain words that are shared between both BrE and AmE is acceptable to be used from both languages as long as the consistency of that specific spelling is kept within a whole page, for example: a page using "Behaviour" (BrE) or "Behavior" (AmE) should keep the same spelling throughout the whole article it is used, two different spellings should not be mixed together.

** The official games may prioritise a specific way of spelling words, in that case if the written article is directly based on a source from the game, where that specific spelling is used, it must be prioritised, for instance: ''[[:File:Folder_001_paper_skin8.png|Turnip Hill - Status report]]'' uses "Behaviour" (BrE), while ''[[:File:Papers_001_skin3.png|The acquisition of Bergmann Group]]'' uses "Defense" (AmE), should a wiki page be created directly based on the content on these, these specific ways of spellings would need to be prioritised and kept consistent within that page.
