I just noted that the palaeobotany is using british spelling, while all the other similar tags are using american spelling (e.g. paleontology. As a community, we should strive for tags using the same spelling forms, so that they have a logical consistency. At the moment I do not have the reputation to edit or retag the relevant questions, but maybe one of the moderators could take a look at this.

$\begingroup$ If you can put together a list of tags that are British-spelt and what the American-spelt equivalents are I can create some synonyms. $\endgroup$– casey ModCommented May 22, 2014 at 14:36

$\begingroup$ @casey I will try to do that later when I have the time. Right now, I don't know if there are many of these cases in the created tags. $\endgroup$– fileunderwaterCommented May 27, 2014 at 10:46

This has been discussed on the mother meta before.
The bottom line then, was:
- posters are free to write in their own dialect of English
- but tagging should be in American English.
The British-spelt tags can be made synonyms of the American-spelt tags
