Because I try to use American English on the Net, but the ECMAScript 
Language Specification uses British English there (probably because it is 
published by Ecma International based in Geneva).

However, your question has made me look it up again.  The correct terms are 
"Regular Expression *Literal*" (ECMA-262 5.1 Ed., section 7.8.5), "Array 
Initialiser" (11.1.4) and "Object Initialiser" (11.1.5).  Thanks.
