+### Remove British English aliases
+Earlier versions of this library aliased `favourites` to `favorites`. These
+aliases have been removed. Ruby is implemented in American English. The
+`initialize` method is spelled with a "z", not an "s", and Ruby provides no
+alias. Likewise, this library does not provide aliases for Commonwealthers.

 hierarchy has been removed. All errors now inherit directly from
