[bulk] [pandorabots-general] Favorite Favourite

[Princess Artemis]

I believe it's in the AIML.  I know going through the latest code set on 
alicebot.org to comb out as much of ALICE as I could to make a unique 
personality, I came across a number of srais that translated favourite 
to favorite or colour to color (there seemes to be some bugs with 
recursion on "favorite" though...and beware telling a garden-variety 
Pandorabot that your favorite author is F. Scott Fitzgerald, they srai F 
_ as cussing).  I don't know how many there are, as I left most of them 
alone, but I think there are some for the -ise/-ize spelling differences 
too.

They're probably there because ALICE is 'American'; she wouldn't spell 
things in British English, but she understands many of them.  It would 
probably take a good bit of work to make a Pandorabot that uses British 
English spellings in its replies.  Couldn't tell you if it would be more 
or less work than making a male Pandorabot.
